+ (synopsis "Speed up or slow down speech")
+ (description "Sonic implements a simple algorithm for speeding up or slowing
+down speech. However, it's optimized for speed ups of over 2X, unlike previous
+algorithms for changing speech rate. Sonic is a C library designed to be easily
+integrated into streaming voice applications such as text-to-speech (TTS) back
+ends.
+
+The primary motivation behind Sonic is to enable the blind and visually impaired
+to improve their productivity with speech engines, like eSpeak. Sonic can also
+be used by the sighted.")
