 This library provides the translation logic for the MetamorPOV [browser extension](https://git.viscogliosi-pate.com/jean/metamorpov). It exports a single function to replace specific plaintext markers (such as Y/n, pov/s, and vrb/do/present/) with their English equivalents.
 
+## Usage
+
+After installing the package and including it in your file header, you can call the single function that MetamorPOV exports.
+
+```js
+const input = "Pov/s vrb/present/like/ watching birds.";
+const options = {
+  name: "Amelia",
+  preset: "she",
+  pov: "third"
+};
+
+// "She likes watching birds."
+console.log(metamorpov.translate(input, options));
+```
