+SUMMARY="Speech synthesizer for English and other languages"
+DESCRIPTION="
+	eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer \
+	for English and other languages, for Linux and Windows.
+	
+	eSpeak uses a \"formant synthesis\" method. \
+	This allows many languages to be provided in a small size. \
+	The speech is clear, and can be used at high speeds, \
+	but is not as natural or smooth as larger synthesizers \
+	which are based on human speech recordings.
