+MBROLA voices database
+
+This project provides list of MBROLA speech synthesizer voices. It is
+intended to provide easier collaboration and automatic updates for
+individual users and packagers.
+
+This package does not contain executable code, so does not _strictly_
+depend on mbrola, but it is unlikely to be useful without it, and
+mbrola itself is not likely to be useful without this package.
+
+Mbrola voices are _not_ independent of espeak's own voices.
+If you want to use an mbrola voice to add intonation to Espeak's voice,
+add mb- before the voice name, and if it is supported, espeak will use
+the intonation file.
+
+To test that mbrola voices have been installed correctly, run:
+
+/usr/bin/espeak -v mb-us2 -s 120 test
