+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting the App
+
+The app runs automatically when started from the Reachy Mini dashboard. It will:
+1. Start a web server at `http://localhost:5173` (or configured port)
+2. Open the web UI for race selection
+3. Wait for you to configure and start commentary
+
+### Web UI Controls
+
+**Mode Selection:**
+- **Quick Demo** - 2-3 minute demonstration with pre-configured events
+- **Full Historical Race** - Select from available F1 races
+
+**Race Selection** (Full Historical Race mode):
+- **Year** - Select from available years (2018-2024)
+- **Race** - Select specific race from chosen year
+
+**Configuration:**
+- **Commentary Mode** - Basic or Enhanced (Enhanced recommended)
+- **Playback Speed** - 1x (real-time), 5x, 10x, or 20x
+- **ElevenLabs API Key** - Your ElevenLabs API key for audio synthesis
+- **Voice ID** - ElevenLabs voice ID (default provided)
+
+**Controls:**
+- **Start Commentary** - Begin playback with selected configuration
+- **Stop** - Halt active commentary
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### ElevenLabs API Key
+
+To enable audio synthesis, you need an ElevenLabs API key:
+
+1. Sign up at [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/)
+2. Get your API key from the dashboard
+3. Enter it in the Web UI before starting commentary
+
+#### Environment Variables (Optional)
+
+You can also set credentials via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
+export ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID="your_voice_id_here"
+```
+
+## Quick Demo Mode
+
+Perfect for showcasing the system without internet connectivity:
+
+- Pre-configured 2-3 minute demonstration
+- Includes overtakes, pit stops, fastest lap, and incidents
+- Demonstrates commentary variety and robot movements
+- No OpenF1 API connection required
+
+## Full Historical Race Mode
+
+Experience past F1 races with generated commentary:
+
+- Select from 100+ historical races (2018-2024)
+- Configurable playback speed (1x to 20x)
+- Real race data from OpenF1 API
+- Complete race commentary with all significant events
+
+## Enhanced Commentary System
+
+The enhanced commentary system generates organic, natural-sounding commentary:
+
+- **210 Templates** - Extensive variety prevents repetition
+- **5 Excitement Levels** - Calm to dramatic based on event significance
+- **5 Perspectives** - Technical, strategic, dramatic, positional, historical
+- **Context Enrichment** - Multiple data points per commentary
+- **Narrative Tracking** - Detects battles, comebacks, strategy divergence
+- **Frequency Controls** - Prevents repetitive content patterns
+
+### Example Commentary
+
+**Basic Mode:**
+```
+"Hamilton gets past Verstappen! Up to P1!"
+```
+
+**Enhanced Mode:**
+```
+"Fantastic overtake by Hamilton on Verstappen, now in P1!"
+"There it is! Hamilton takes the lead from Verstappen!"
+"Hamilton makes a brilliant move on Verstappen for P1!"
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Reachy Mini** (or simulation mode)
+- **Python 3.9+**
+- **ElevenLabs API Key** (for audio synthesis)
+- **Internet Connection** (for Full Historical Race mode)
+
+## Development
+
+### Running in Standalone Mode
+
+For development and testing without the Reachy Mini framework:
+
+```bash
+# Method 1: Run main module directly (recommended)
+python -m reachy_f1_commentator.main
+
+# Method 2: Use the app.py wrapper
+python reachy_f1_commentator/app.py
+```
+
+The app will:
+- Auto-detect and connect to Reachy if available
+- Fall back to text-only mode if Reachy is not connected
+- Start web server on http://localhost:8080
+
+### Testing Reachy Connection
+
+To verify Reachy Mini connection and audio capabilities:
+
+```bash
+python test_reachy_audio_connection.py
+```
+
+This will check:
+- ✅ Reachy Mini SDK installation
+- ✅ Connection to Reachy
+- ✅ Audio capabilities
+- ✅ Simple audio playback test
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/test_enhanced_commentary_generator.py
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=reachy_f1_commentator
+```

+
+# 🏎️ Reachy F1 Commentator
+
+An interactive F1 race commentary system for Reachy Mini that generates organic, context-rich commentary with audio synthesis and synchronized robot movements.
+
+## Features
+
+- 🎙️ **Enhanced Organic Commentary** - 210 templates with varied perspectives (technical, strategic, dramatic)
+- 🏁 **Quick Demo Mode** - 2-3 minute pre-configured demonstration
+- 📊 **Full Historical Race Mode** - Replay any F1 race from OpenF1 API
+- 🔊 **Audio Synthesis** - ElevenLabs text-to-speech integration
+- 🤖 **Robot Movements** - Synchronized head movements with commentary
+- 🌐 **Web UI** - Browser-based race selection and playback control
+- ⚡ **Configurable Speed** - 1x, 5x, 10x, or 20x playback speed
+
+## Installation
+
+### Via Reachy Mini App Assistant
+
+The easiest way to install this app on your Reachy Mini:
+
+```bash
+reachy-mini-app-assistant install reachy-f1-commentator
+```
+
+### Manual Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install git+https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/reachy-f1-commentator
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting the App
+
+The app runs automatically when started from the Reachy Mini dashboard. It will:
+1. Start a web server at `http://localhost:5173` (or configured port)
+2. Open the web UI for race selection
+3. Wait for you to configure and start commentary
+
+### Web UI Controls
+
+**Mode Selection:**
+- **Quick Demo** - 2-3 minute demonstration with pre-configured events
+- **Full Historical Race** - Select from available F1 races
+
+**Race Selection** (Full Historical Race mode):
+- **Year** - Select from available years (2018-2024)
+- **Race** - Select specific race from chosen year
+
+**Configuration:**
+- **Commentary Mode** - Basic or Enhanced (Enhanced recommended)
+- **Playback Speed** - 1x (real-time), 5x, 10x, or 20x
+- **ElevenLabs API Key** - Your ElevenLabs API key for audio synthesis
+- **Voice ID** - ElevenLabs voice ID (default provided)
+
+**Controls:**
+- **Start Commentary** - Begin playback with selected configuration
+- **Stop** - Halt active commentary
+
+### Configuration
+
+#### ElevenLabs API Key
+
+To enable audio synthesis, you need an ElevenLabs API key:
+
+1. Sign up at [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/)
+2. Get your API key from the dashboard
+3. Enter it in the Web UI before starting commentary
+
+#### Environment Variables (Optional)
+
+You can also set credentials via environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
+export ELEVENLABS_VOICE_ID="your_voice_id_here"
+```
+
+## Quick Demo Mode
+
+Perfect for showcasing the system without internet connectivity:
+
+- Pre-configured 2-3 minute demonstration
+- Includes overtakes, pit stops, fastest lap, and incidents
+- Demonstrates commentary variety and robot movements
+- No OpenF1 API connection required
+
+## Full Historical Race Mode
+
+Experience past F1 races with generated commentary:
+
+- Select from 100+ historical races (2018-2024)
+- Configurable playback speed (1x to 20x)
+- Real race data from OpenF1 API
+- Complete race commentary with all significant events
+
+## Enhanced Commentary System
+
+The enhanced commentary system generates organic, natural-sounding commentary:
+
+- **210 Templates** - Extensive variety prevents repetition
+- **5 Excitement Levels** - Calm to dramatic based on event significance
+- **5 Perspectives** - Technical, strategic, dramatic, positional, historical
+- **Context Enrichment** - Multiple data points per commentary
+- **Narrative Tracking** - Detects battles, comebacks, strategy divergence
+- **Frequency Controls** - Prevents repetitive content patterns
+
+### Example Commentary
+
+**Basic Mode:**
+```
+"Hamilton gets past Verstappen! Up to P1!"
+```
+
+**Enhanced Mode:**
+```
+"Fantastic overtake by Hamilton on Verstappen, now in P1!"
+"There it is! Hamilton takes the lead from Verstappen!"
+"Hamilton makes a brilliant move on Verstappen for P1!"
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- **Reachy Mini** (or simulation mode)
+- **Python 3.9+**
+- **ElevenLabs API Key** (for audio synthesis)
+- **Internet Connection** (for Full Historical Race mode)
+
+## Development
+
+### Running in Standalone Mode
+
+For development and testing without the Reachy Mini framework:
+
+```bash
+# Method 1: Run main module directly (recommended)
+python -m reachy_f1_commentator.main
+
+# Method 2: Use the app.py wrapper
+python reachy_f1_commentator/app.py
+```
+
+The app will:
+- Auto-detect and connect to Reachy if available
+- Fall back to text-only mode if Reachy is not connected
+- Start web server on http://localhost:8080
+
+### Testing Reachy Connection
+
+To verify Reachy Mini connection and audio capabilities:
+
+```bash
+python test_reachy_audio_connection.py
+```
+
+This will check:
+- ✅ Reachy Mini SDK installation
+- ✅ Connection to Reachy
+- ✅ Audio capabilities
+- ✅ Simple audio playback test
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run specific test file
+pytest tests/test_enhanced_commentary_generator.py
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=reachy_f1_commentator
+```
