# Plan: talk — Reachy Mini date/time announcer

## What I understand you want

A Reachy Mini Python app (`talk`) that:
1. Wakes the robot up (animation + sound)
2. Speaks the current date and time in German via text-to-speech

## App flavour

**Python app** (not JS) because:
- TTS requires `espeak-ng` on the robot
- This is a developer-style on-robot app, same pattern as the sibling `recognizer`
- The `--template conversation` is designed exactly for "making the robot talk"

Scaffold command (after plan approval):
```bash
reachy-mini-app-assistant create --template conversation talk /Users/oliver/Documents/dev/reachy_mini/talk --publish
```

## Technical approach

1. **TTS**: `espeak-ng -v de -s 130 -w /tmp/datetime.wav` + `reachy_mini.media.play_sound()`  
   German voice gives natural German phonetics for date/time strings.

2. **Date/time string**: Python `datetime` formatted manually in German  
   e.g. `"Heute ist Montag, der neunzehnte Mai 2026. Es ist 14 Uhr 30."` — spelled-out numbers sound better from a TTS engine than digits.

3. **Lifecycle**: `ReachyMiniApp` subclass, `--template conversation` base  
   - On `run()`: call `reachy_mini.wake_up()`, then speak the date/time string
