Speaks agent responses, task summaries, and test failure alerts aloud on a Mac using Apple, OpenAI, or ElevenLabs voices. Shows a teleprompter overlay with word-by-word highlighting synced to the speech. Accepts text via CLI, URL scheme, or HTTP listener so remote and headless agents can talk through your speakers. Keeps multiple concurrent agents separate with per-project voices and scoped stop commands.
