 <h1>The CELT ultra-low delay audio codec</h1>
 <h2>Overview</h2>
 <p>
-	The CELT codec is an experimental codec for use in low-latency audio communication.
+        The CELT codec is a compression algorithm for audio. Like MP3, Vorbis, and 
+        AAC it is suitable for transmitting music with high quality. Unlike these    
+        formats CELT imposes very little delay on the signal, even less than is
+        typical for speech centric formats like Speex, GSM, or G.729.
 </p>
+<p>
+        Using CELT application developers can build software that allows musicians to
+        perform together across the Internet, or simply build great sounding
+        telephony systems. Why shouldn't your telephone sound as good as your
+        stereo?

+<p>
+        Like other open and unencumbered technology from the Xiph.Org Foundation CELT
+        requires no royalties and no complicated licensing.

 	The CELT codec is meant to bridge the gap between Vorbis and Speex for applications
 	where both high quality audio and low delay are desired.
