+ (synopsis "Speed up or slow down speech")
+ (description "Sonic is 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. The Sonic library is a very simple ANSI C
+library that is designed to easily be integrated into streaming voice
+applications, like TTS back ends.
+
+The primary motivation behind Sonic is to enable the blind and visually
impaired
+to improve their productivity with open source speech engines, like espeak.
+Sonic can also be used by the sighted. For example, Sonic can improve the
+experience of listening to an audio book on an Android phone.")
