About

Sannounce

Features
Read full description

Sannounce turns your Sonos speakers into a home intercom. Record a quick message on your iPhone or iPad and broadcast it to one room, a few rooms or the whole house. HOLD, TALK, LET GO Hold the mic while you talk and let go to announce, just like a walkie-talkie. Prefer tapping? Switch to tap to talk, or record first and listen before you send. THE MUSIC KEEPS PLAYING On Sonos speakers that support it, the music ducks while your message plays and comes back by itself. Older speakers are paused and restored to what they were playing. NO VOICE ASSISTANT NEEDED Your voice is recorded on your iPhone or iPad, so the speakers don't need a microphone or voice assistant of their own. SAVED ANNOUNCEMENTS Save the ones you use every day ("Dinner's ready!", "Time for school!") and play them again with one tap. Sannounce suggests a name by transcribing your recording on the device. CLEAR VOICE, FUN SOUNDS Music and other background sound are taken out of your recording, so only your voice comes through. A short bird call plays first so everyone knows to listen, and voice effects turn you into a squeaky chipmunk or a deep, booming voice. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Sannounce talks to your speakers directly over your Wi-Fi. No account, no cloud, no server, no tracking. Your voice never leaves your home network. GOOGLE CAST AND APPLE WATCH Sannounce also plays on Google Cast speakers and Chromecast. On those, what's playing stops for the announcement, and the app tells you what stopped. With the Apple Watch app, you talk into your watch and your iPhone plays it on the speakers you picked. REQUIREMENTS • Sonos or Google Cast speakers on the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone or iPad • Local Network and microphone access Sannounce is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Sonos, Inc. or Google LLC. Sonos is a trademark of Sonos, Inc. Google Cast and Chromecast are trademarks of Google LLC.
