Titles are a paid flair feature: your personal voice pack addresses you with honorifics before some alerts.

Set a title

1. Open Settings.
2. Under Title, pick from the catalog (King, Queen, Commander, Captain, …).
3. Choose how often lead-ins play: Rare, Sometimes, or Often.
4. Activate. Free accounts see an upgrade prompt instead.
5. Optionally pick a signal type and press Sample in my voice to hear one lead-in immediately.

Catalog vs custom

Kind	Cost	What you get
Catalog (King, Commander, …)	Free on paid plans	Curated honorific pool, expanded for variety
Custom	Credits (shown in Settings)	You name the title; Announcr invents related honorifics and warms speech clips

Custom titles: enter a short label (e.g. Overlord), pay the activate fee from your credit balance, and optionally Regenerate honorifics later (smaller credit fee) for a fresh pool.

Activating a catalog title never spends credits.

What you hear

On title-enabled signal types, your assistant may say a short precursor first, for example:

• "Sire, we have a message coming in from Telegram."
• "Sir, a message on X."
• "Commander, a price alert."

Then the normal alert body plays. Lead-ins are not every fire (so they stay special), and they only use your assistant voice pack. Recent lead-ins are avoided so the same "Sire / message on X" combo does not play back-to-back.

When titles do not play

• You are on the free plan, or you cleared your title.
• The signal type has titles turned off by the platform.
• A forced brand or source voice is speaking that alert (titles stay with your assistant identity) — including a forced pack on a token listing.
• The random frequency roll skips this fire.
