+## Praat Modifications
+
+The eSpeak sources from
+[http://espeak.sourceforge.net/test/latest.html](http://espeak.sourceforge.net/test/latest.html)
+contains a `praat-mod` folder. This provides modifications of the `praat` program
+to support generating spectral data for use with espeakedit. This is not
+available in the subversion releases.
+
+Instead of adding the `praat-mod` folder to the sources here, to better track
+the changes to the `praat` program the modifications are included in the
+*espeak* branch of the [praat](https://github.com/rhdunn/praat) mirror. This
+mirror currently includes support upto version 5.3.23 of praat.
