# Voice Notification - Voice Broadcast

Push voice broadcast messages to users' active voice sessions. The message will be played via TTS when the session is in idle state.

## Quick Start

When a user requests to send a voice notification:
1. Compose the message content
2. Call voice_notify.py to send the broadcast

## Instructions

### Tool Path

```bash
python {skill_dir}/scripts/voice_notify.py broadcast --message "Your message here"
```

### Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `--message` | Yes | The message content to be spoken via TTS |

### Response

- Success: `{"success": true, "queued": true}`
- Error: `{"success": false, "error": "..."}`

## Examples

**User**: "Send a voice notification: the meeting is starting"

```bash
python {skill_dir}/scripts/voice_notify.py broadcast \
  --message "The meeting is starting soon, please get ready"
```

**User**: "Notify me via voice that my coffee is ready"

```bash
python {skill_dir}/scripts/voice_notify.py broadcast \
  --message "Your coffee is ready, please come pick it up"
```

## Guidelines

- The target user must have an active voice session connected to `/api/v3/voice/realtime`
- The voice session must be in lite mode (`voice_mode: "lite"`)
- Messages are queued and played when the session enters idle state
- Keep messages concise for better TTS experience
- Message language should match the user's preferred language
