+## ⭐️ Why EasySpeech?
 
 This project was created, because it's always a struggle to get the synthesis
 part of `Web Speech API` running on most major browsers.
 
-**Note:** this is not a polyfill package, if your target browser does not 
-support speech synthesis or the Web Speech API, this package is not usable.
+## ✨ Features

+- 🪄 Single API for using `speechSynthesis` across multiple browsers
+- 🌈 Async API (Promises, async/await)
+- 🚀 Hooks for all events; global and/or voice-instance-specific
+- 🌱 Easy to set up and integrate: auto-detects and loads available voices
+- 🔧 Includes fixes or workarounds for many browser-specific quirks
+- 📝 Internal logging via `EasySpeech.debug` hook
+- 📦 Multiple build targets
+- 🎮 Live demo to test your browser
