## What is Announce?

Announce turns your iPhone or iPad into a fully automated PA system for schools, offices, churches, and more, no expensive hardware or internet connection required.
Automated Bells & Announcements Schedule bells and voice announcements to play automatically at
any time, on any combination of days. Set up morning bells, period changes, lunch breaks, and end-
of-day chimes once, and they run forever. Recurring schedules support every day, weekdays,
weekends, or custom day combinations.
Professional Multi-Part Sequences Build polished announcement sequences by combining a pre-
chime, a recorded voice message, and a post-chime into a single playback. Choose from 14 built-in
professional bells and chimes including school bells, grandfather clock, gongs, and multi-tone chime,
or record your own.
Live Microphone Broadcasting Broadcast in real time through your device's speaker or connected PA
system. Tap-to-broadcast or hold-to-broadcast mode, with one-touch pre-chime and post-chime
buttons for a professional finish every time.
Emergency Signals Trigger pre-configured emergency alerts Fire Evacuation, Lockdown, Medical
Emergency, All Clear, and more with a built-in safety hold mechanism.
Custom Recordings & Imports Record voice announcements up to 10 minutes directly in the app, with
live waveform visualization. Import existing audio files (MP3, WAV) from your device to use as bells,
chimes, or announcements.
Built for Your Organization Quick-start templates for Schools & Universities, Hospitals & Clinics,
Military & Security, Offices & Facilities, Churches & Venues, and more get you up and running in
minutes.
