There’s a problem here. :-)

I would change the last sentence to:
Sonic is a C library designed to be easily integrated into streaming
voice applications such as text-to-speech (TTS) back ends.

Replace with “with speech engines such as eSpeak.”

I’d remove these two sentences.
OK with these changes.
