Looking for an open-source Java text reader (voice) [open source java] [learning java]
Q: Hi,
Im java learning by writing a video game. I would like some open source Java code that I can use to read the text to find . and by that I mean, I give the text and shows it in audio. If there is no such thing I could settle for a program that I can call my java app.
Thanks!

I guess this one is not abandonware:

Depending on how old that ViaVoice stuff is, it might be what I worked on. 
I believe the ViaVoice for Linux bits are about 3 years old, but IBM pulled their distribution over a year ago.
Where was IBM ViaVoice development based?
There was a small text-to-speech company in NY state I worked for whose TTS engine was licensed to IBM to include in their ViaVoice products. I don't know how long they used our stuff. I worked there like 6-7 years ago.

Re:Good luck, dude. I worked for a TTS company a while back. TTS is a hard problem. I listened to a sample of that FreeTTS and it sounded terrible.

Fortunately – there are!
Like these guys for example:
FreeTTS 1.2beta2 – A speech sy…M programming language (http://freetts.sourceforge.net/docs/index.php#possible_uses)
But I'm looking for the easiest/best choice. I'm not looking to become a TTS guru here. I just want something I can use.

If I know Sun at all, I'd say they defined a set of interfaces for what a speech recognition system should do so that 3rd party vendors can sell interchangeable implementations for a "best-of-breed" solution… 
I think your best option for in game audio is to record what you want yourself and just play them at specific points in the game (just about every game does it this way, if I'm not mistaken).

Re:I just saw java has some speech classes, but I'm looking for something I can use instead of writing from scratch. Voice recognition would be a nice plus.
Thanks
