-This is hledger's command-line interface. Its basic function is to read a plain
-text file describing financial transactions and produce useful reports.
+The command-line interface for the hledger accounting system. Its basic
+function is to read a plain text file describing financial transactions and
+produce useful reports.
 
-hledger is a cross-platform program for tracking money, time, or any other
-commodity, using double-entry accounting and a simple, editable file format.
-It is inspired by and largely compatible with ledger(1). hledger provides
-command-line, terminal and web interfaces, and aims to be a reliable, practical
-tool for daily use.
+hledger is a robust, cross-platform set of tools for tracking money, time, or
+any other commodity, using double-entry accounting and a simple, editable file
+format, with command-line, terminal and web interfaces. It is a Haskell rewrite
+of Ledger, and one of the leading implementations of Plain Text Accounting.
