Making a Discord Bot in Python: How to make a toggle talk for a ChatBot

I'm trying to make a discord ChatBot in Python and I seem to have come across a problem. I'm making a toggle on and off switch to make it talk but whenever I toggle that switch it says that 'talk' is not recognized as a command. I even tried making it @client.event instead of @client.command but it wouldn't work. Please help.

import discord
from discord.ext.commands import Bot
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio
import time
Client = discord.Client()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = ":")
on_talk = False
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("You can talk to me now!")
@client.command
async def talk(message):
global on_talk
if message.content.upper().startswith(":TALK"):
on_talk = True
if message.content.upper().startswith(":STOPTALK"):
on_talk = False
if on_talk == False:
print("on_talk is set to False")
if on_talk == True:
print("It works")
