+  <h1>Text-to-Speech | Python LiveKit Agents Example</h1>
+</div>
+
+## Overview
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the **Hume Python LiveKit plugin** to integrate:
+
+1. **Speech-to-Text with Voice Activity Detection (VAD)** (Silero VAD + Groq Whisper)
+2. **A conversational LLM** (Anthropic Claude Haiku)
+3. **Low-latency Text-to-Speech** (Hume AI's streaming API for Octave)
+
+…inside a LiveKit Agents worker that runs in **console mode** by default. No front-end required—just your terminal and microphone.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Clone this examples repository**
+
+   ```sh
+   git clone https://github.com/humeai/hume-api-examples
+   cd hume-api-examples/tts/tts-python-livekit
+   ```
+
+2. **Set up the environment**
+
+   We recommend `uv` but you can adapt these commands to your preferred package manager.
+
+   ```sh
+   uv sync
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure your API keys**
+
+   You’ll need accounts and credentials for:
+
+   - **Hume AI**: https://platform.hume.ai
+   - **Anthropic**: https://console.anthropic.com
+   - **Groq**: https://console.groq.com
+   - **LiveKit**: https://livekit.com
+
+   Copy the example and fill in your credentials:
+
+   ```sh
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+   Edit .env to include:
+
+   ```dotenv
+   HUME_API_KEY=…        # from Hume AI
+   GROQ_API_KEY=…        # from Groq console
+   ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=…   # from Anthropic console
+   LIVEKIT_URL=…         # your LiveKit deployment URL
+   LIVEKIT_API_KEY=…     # your LiveKit API key
+   LIVEKIT_API_SECRET=…  # your LiveKit API secret
+   ```
+
+4. **Run the demo**
+
+   Start the console-based assistant and begin talking:
+
+   ```sh
+   uv run python main.py
+   ```
+
+   Speak into your mic and the assistant will respond.
+
+   > **Optional**: Tweak additional demo settings in settings.py (e.g. models, prompt, voice, VAD thresholds).
