+This is the repository for AI_VoiceOver. Modified for Ascension.gg.
+
+## Voice data
+
+The voice MP3s (~1.2 GiB) are stored in Git LFS in this repo; release zips
+intentionally ship only the framework and lookup tables (`*.mp3` is
+`export-ignore`). To get the voice data:
+
+```
+git lfs install
+git clone <this repo>
+```
+
+Then copy the `AI_VoiceOverData_Vanilla` folder into `Interface/AddOns`.
