+As deep learning practitioners, we have been looking for a TensorFlow wrapper library that can serve for various development phases. This library is easy for beginners by offering rich neural network implementations,
+examples and tutorials. Later, its APIs do not prohibit users from manipulating the low-level powerful features of TensorFlow, which is necessary in tackling real-world problems. In the end, the extra wrappers shall not compromise TensorFlow performance, and thus suit for production deployment. TensorLayer is a novel library that aims to satisfy these requirements that can occur in various phases. It has three key features:
 
-- *Simplicity* : TensorLayer lifts the low-level dataflow abstraction of TensorFlow to **high-level** deep learning modules. It also
-provides users with massive examples and tutorials to help bootstrap.
-- *Transparency* : TensorLayer provides access to the **native APIs** of TensorFlow. This helps users achieve flexible controls within the training engine.
-- *Performance* : TensorLayer provides **zero-cost** abstraction. It can run on distributed and heterogeneous TensorFlow platforms with full power.
+- *Simplicity* : TensorLayer lifts the low-level dataflow abstraction of TensorFlow to **high-level** layers. It also provides users with massive examples and tutorials to help bootstrap.
+- *Flexibility* : TensorLayer APIs are transparent: it does not mask TensorFlow from users but leaving massive hooks that allow **low-level tuning**.
+- *Zero-cost Abstraction* : TensorLayer is able to achieve the **full performance** of TensorFlow.
