 # ITA-Toolbox
-Geile Toolbox
+Welcome to the ITA-Toolbox
 
-## zweite Überschrift
+* Open source project developed by the [Institute of Technical Acoustics](http://www.akustik.rwth-aachen.de/), [RWTH Aachen University](http://www.rwth-aachen.de/).
+* Full-fledged Toolbox, well-integrated in the MATLAB environment.
+* Including demo files, documentation and tutorials to get started quickly.
+* Deals with playable audio files or simulation data (including physical unit calculation and spatial information).
+* A graphical user interface and various plot routines for the graphical output of all kind of relevant acoustic data.
+* Object-oriented programming concepts for using of well-known MATLAB commands and operators to audio data.
+* Makes it easy to do basic signal analysis and processing, record and playback audio files and much more...
 
+You can find the first instructions how to deal with the ITA-Toolbox in the [Getting Started](ITA_Toolbox_Getting_Started.pdf) file.
