Announcer
Play TTS announcements through AirPlay speakers via Airfoil and ElevenLabs.
How It Works
- Generate speech via ElevenLabs (high-quality opus → stereo MP3)
- Connect to AirPlay speakers via Airfoil
- Play an optional chime (gong) followed by the announcement
- Disconnect speakers after playback
Setup
See SETUP.md for prerequisites and setup instructions.
