Problem

The Problem

Every day, thousands of venues struggle with getting the right message to the right audience, in the right language, at the right time. A karate tournament needs to call competitors to the mat with names pronounced correctly. A bus station needs to announce a platform change in four languages. The traditional process is painful - record with voice actors, edit in audio software, translate, re-record, upload. What should take seconds takes days. What should cost nothing costs thousands.

Solution

The Solution

Voice Announcer is a self-hosted platform that turns text into broadcast-ready audio across 74 languages. Compose announcements visually from reusable templates, preview them instantly in the browser, and deploy to any speaker system - web player, local PA, or REST API. No recording studios, no voice actors, no audio engineers required.

Key Capabilities

Compose Like Building Blocks

Easily compose announcements from reusable voice and sound elements, then automatically populate them with live information from your connected systems. The result is faster, smarter, and always up-to-date event communication.

Generate in Every Language at Once

Toggle "Speak All Languages" on a channel and every announcement is automatically generated in all configured languages, concatenated into a single audio file with natural pauses. Write once, broadcast everywhere.

Multiple TTS Providers

Choose ElevenLabs (74 languages, emotion tags), OpenAI gpt-4o-mini-tts, self-hosted Chatterbox for air-gapped environments, or macOS Say for local development. Each channel can use a different provider independently.

Smart Caching & Deduplication

Frequently used announcements are delivered instantly through smart reuse, reducing wait times and avoiding unnecessary processing. The result is a faster system and significantly lower operating costs.

Multi-Tenancy

Run multiple venues independently from one Voice Announcer platform, while keeping each setup separate and fully customizable. Launch a new venue in one click by copying templates, data connections, and sound libraries.

Three Player Types

Web Player (React-based browser player), Local Player (server-side audio output via PortAudio for PA systems), and External Player (REST API for kiosks, digital signage, and custom devices).
