Java Program which speaks
Today you will see a java program which could convert text to speech .The program will ask you to enter string and then it will spell the string in a natural human voice.
NOTE:- For this app i am using a third party library named FreeTTS 1.2.2 you could download it from here .Here i am assuming that you know how to use the jars of third party libraries if not then you could have a look on here.
If you are using Blue J IDE then see it here.
If you are using Ellipse then look here.
So below is the complete code of our Application
Spell.java
import com.sun.speech.freetts.Voice;
import com.sun.speech.freetts.VoiceManager;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Spell {
private static final String VOICE_NAME_KEVIN = "kevin16";
private final Voice voice;
public Spell() {
VoiceManager vm = VoiceManager.getInstance();
voice = vm.getVoice(VOICE_NAME_KEVIN);
voice.allocate();
}
public void speak(String inputText) {
if(inputText != null) {
voice.speak(inputText);
}
else {
inputText="Atleast enter something to speak";
voice.speak(inputText);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Defining Scanner Object to read data from console
Scanner inputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
Spell tsc = new Spell();
System.out.println("Enter the Text : (type 'exit' to terminate)");
// Reading the text
String inputText = inputScanner.nextLine();
while (true) {
if("exit".equalsIgnoreCase(inputText)) {
inputText = "Good Bye, we will talk later";
tsc.speak(inputText);
break;
}
tsc.speak(inputText);
System.out.println("Enter the Text : (type 'exit' to terminate)");
inputText = inputScanner.nextLine();
}
inputScanner.close();
}
}
