+## Live Transpile TypeScript
+
+Will live transpile TypeScript to JavaScript on request. This allows serving TypeScript sources 
+directly to the browser without a build step.
+
+```bash
+http-server-rs --transpile --port 8080 ./testing/transpile/react
+
+# Returns transpiled JavaScript that runs directly in the browser
+curl http://localhost:8080/app.tsx 
+```
+
 ## Watch Mode
 
 `http-server` under `--watch` mode can watch the served directory for changes and emit an event to the client notifying of a change. By default the server will intercept html files and inject a JavaScript script which subscribes to change events and triggers a page reload.
