-Barby is a Ruby barcode generator. It does not depend on other libraries
-(for the core functionality) and is easily extentable.
+Barby is a Ruby library that generates barcodes in a variety of symbologies.
+Its functionality is split into barcode and "outputter" objects. Barcode
+objects turn data into a binary representation for a given symbology.
+Outputters then take this representation and turns it into images, PDF, etc.
 
-The barcode objects are separated from the process of generating graphical
-(or other) representations. A barcode's only responsibility is to provide
-a string representation consisting of 1s and 0s representing bars and spaces.
-This string can then be used to generate (for example) an image with the
-RMagickOutputter, or an ASCII string such as the one below.
+You can easily add a symbology without having to worry about graphical
+representation. If it can be represented as the usual 1D or 2D matrix of
+lines or squares, outputters will do that for you.
+
+Likewise, you can easily add an outputter for a format that doesn't have one
+yet, and it will work with all existing symbologies.
