 Speaker.silence(callback)
 // Removes a given callback
 ```
+
+## Example
+
+A simple example:
+
+```js
+const speaker = new Speaker(true /* run callbacks immediately */)
+
+speaker.listen(value => console.log(value))
+speaker.listen(value => console.warn(value))
+
+speaker.speak("This will be logged twice")
+
+console.log("This message will appear last")
+```
+
+A slightly more convoluted example:
+
+```js
+import Speaker from '/speaker.js'
+
+// A new message that schedules messages as microtasks
+const speaker = new Speaker()
+
+// A callback that calls messages as functions
+speaker.listen(fn => fn())
+
+// A shorthand wrapper around the speaker
+const defer = fn => speaker.speak(fn)
+
+// Defer a function to be called in a microtask
+defer(() => console.log("This message will appear second"))
+
+console.log("This message will appear first")
+
+// Defer another function to be called in a microtask
+defer(() => console.log("This message will appear third"))
+// Note: A single speaker will use a single microtask even
+// for multiple messages.
+
+defer(() => {
+	// You can continue pushing messages inside the callback;
+	// they will be processed within the same microtask.
+	defer(() => console.log("This message will appear last"))
+})
+```
