Hi, Today we are learning how to develop a text-to-speech application in Java. In this project, we are using Java-Swing and Java Speech API to develop this application.
Java-Swing is a lightweight and cross-platform toolkit that provides the graphical user interface(GUI) to java programs. Java Speech API is an application programming interface that provides features to develop cross-platform voice applications.
To develop this project we require to download FreeTTS(An open-source implementation of Java Speech API).
Download the Zip folder of FreeTTS from here. Extract file and open lib folder in it then run jsapi.exe if you are using windows or use jsapi.sh if you are using mac/Linux. After executing the jsapi file it will generate jsapi.jar.
Now we have to create a new java project in any IDE and name it TextToSpeech. Next, create a class file and name it TextToSpeech.
Now we have to add some jar files in this project from the freetts folder the path and list of the jar files are listed below.
File Name Path
jsapi.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
cmudict04.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
cmulex.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
cmu_time_awb.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
cmutimelex.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
cmu_us_kal.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
en_us.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
freetts.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
freetts-jsapi10.jar /freetts-1.2/lib/
mbrola.jar /freetts-1.2/mbrola/
After including all these jar file we have to program the TextToSpeech.java file just copy the given below code and paste it in that file.
Now create a Java swing application and name it TextGui and copy the given code and paste it into that file.
Now run this project and build your own Text To Speech Application.

What is sam.
Sam is a very small Text-To-Speech (TTS) program written in Javascript, that runs on most popular platforms. It is an adaption to Javascript of the speech software SAM (Software Automatic Mouth) for the Commodore C64 published in the year 1982 by Don't Ask Software (now SoftVoice, Inc.). It includes a Text-To-Phoneme converter called reciter and a Phoneme-To-Speech routine for the final output.
Currently compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Safari + iOS. The conversion was done by hand from the C source code by Sebastian Macke , and the refactored versions by Vidar Hokstad and 8BitPimp

Rev › Blog › Resources › Other Resources › Speech-to-Text APIs › Easy Way to Learn Speech Recognition in Java With a Speech-To-Text API
Here we explain show how to use a speech-to-text API with two Java examples.
We will be using the Rev AI API ( free for your first 5 hours ) that has two different speech-to-text API’s:
We will use the Rev AI Java SDK located here . We use this short audio , on the exciting topic of HR recruiting.
First, sign up for Rev AI for free and get an access token.
Create a Java project with whatever editor you normally use. Then add this dependency to the Maven pom.xml manifest:
The code sample below is here . We explain it and show the output.
Submit the job from a URL:
Most of the Rev AI options are self-explanatory, for the most part. You can use the callback to kick off downloading the transcription in another program that is on standby, listening on http, if you don’t want to use the polling method we use in this example.
Put the program in a loop and check the job status. Download the transcription when it is done.
The SDK returns captions as well as text.
Here is the complete code:
It responds:
You can get the transcript with Java.
Or go get it later with curl, noting the job id from stdout above.
This returns the transcription in JSON format:
A stream is a websocket connection from your video or audio server to the Rev AI audio-to-text entire.
We can emulate this connection by streaming a .raw file from the local hard drive to Rev AI.
One Ubuntu run:
Download the audio then convert it to .raw format as shown below. Converted it from wav to raw with the following ffmpeg command:
As you run that is gives key information about the audio file:
To explain, first we set a websocket connection and start streaming the file:
The important items to set here are the sampling rate (not bit rate) and format. We match this information from ffmpeg: Audio: pcm_f32le, 48000 Hz ,
After the client connects, the onConnected event sends a message. We can get the jobid from there. This will let us download the transcription later if we don’t want to get it in real-time.
To get the transcription in real time, listen for the onHypothesis event:
Here is what the output looks like:
Accuracy is what you want in a speech-to-text API, and Rev AI is a one-of-a-kind speech-to-text API in that regard.
You might ask, “So what? Siri and Alexa already do speech-to-text, and Google has a speech cloud API.”
That’s true. But there’s one game-changing difference:
The data that powers Rev AI is manually collected and carefully edited . Rev pays 50,000 freelancers to transcribe audio & caption videos for its 99% accurate transcription & captioning services . Rev AI is trained with this human-sourced data, and this produces transcripts that are far more accurate than those compiled simply by collecting audio, as Siri and Alexa do.
Rev AI’s accuracy is also snowballing, in a sense. Rev’s speech recognition system and API is constantly improving its accuracy rates as its dataset grows and the world-class engineers constantly improve the product.
Why is human transcription important?
If you are familiar with machine learning then you know that converting audio to text is a classification problem.
To train the computer to transcribe audio ML programmers feed feature-label data into their model. This data is called a training set .
Features (sound) are input and labels (the corresponding letter) are output, calculated by the classification algorithm.
Alexa and Siri vacuum up this data all day long. So you would think they would have the largest and therefore most accurate training data.
But that’s only half of the equation. It takes many hours of manual work to type in the labels that correspond to the audio. In other words, a human must listen to the audio and type the corresponding letter and word.
This is what Rev AI has done.
It’s a business model that has taken off, because it fills a very specific need.
For example, look at closed captioning on YouTube. YouTube can automatically add captions to it’s audio. But it’s not always clear. You will notice that some of what it says is nonsense. It’s just like Google Translate: it works most of the time, but not all of the time.
The giant tech companies use statistical analysis, like the frequency distribution of words, to help their models.
But they are consistently outperformed by manually trained audio-to-voice training models.
We combine AI and a huge community of freelancers to make speech-to-text greatness every day. Wanna hear more about it?

Can anyone tell where to find instruction to add TTS to Java written program *(C is suitable to)*. I wold like to write program without any illustration and add some features that any existing program does not have. User just writes word and computer pronounce it loudly. It would be good if the voices output is good not like most TTS has. **Can anyone help me**.
I am new in Java and C so is there any instructions how to include tts to my program.
I know about Java: FreeTTS but I have not found any good tutorials how to include it to my program (use it in my program) or how to write a program what uses Java: FreeTTS
There are numerous libraries for both languages, for example:
Java: FreeTTS
C++: Festival
JavaScript, as a versatile programming language primarily used for client-side web development, plays a crucial role in TTS conversion within web-based applications. With the advent of browser-based APIs such as the Web Speech API, JavaScript empowers developers to integrate TTS functionality directly into web pages without the need for external plugins or software dependencies.
JavaScript’s role in TTS conversion encompasses various aspects, including text processing, API integration, and user interaction. Developers can manipulate text elements within the document object model (DOM), extract content dynamically from web pages, and pass it to the browser’s speech synthesis engine for audio output. JavaScript facilitates the configuration of speech parameters such as voice selection, rate, pitch, and volume, allowing for customizable TTS experiences tailored to user preferences.
Step 1: selecting the target text, step 2: utilizing browser speech synthesis api, step 3: configuring speech parameters, step 4: implementing error handling, accessibility enhancement, seamless integration with web applications, platform independence, real-time feedback and interaction, educational applications for children, accessibility features in websites and web apps, language learning platforms, interactive storytelling applications, personal productivity tools, assistive technology for the elderly, audio-guided tours and navigation apps, accessibility enhancements in gaming applications, steps to convert text to speech with javascript.
Text to speech functionality in JavaScript primarily relies on the Web Speech API, a standardized interface that enables web developers to integrate speech synthesis capabilities into their applications. The Web Speech API provides a set of interfaces and methods for generating natural-sounding speech directly within the browser environment.
The central component of the Web Speech API is the Speech Synthesis interface, which serves as the entry point for initiating and controlling the speech synthesis process. Through this interface, developers can create instances of the Speech Synthesis Utterance object, configure speech parameters, select voices, and trigger the synthesis of spoken output.
To begin the text to speech conversion process, developers must identify the specific text content they wish to render audibly. This can include static text content within HTML elements or dynamically generated text retrieved from data sources or user interactions.
Once the target text is identified, developers can initiate the speech synthesis process using the Speech Synthesis interface. This involves creating an instance of the Speech SynthesisUtterance object, which encapsulates the text to be spoken and provides additional configuration options.
The SpeechSynthesisUtterance object allows developers to customize various aspects of the synthesized speech, including voice, language, rate, pitch, and volume. By invoking methods and setting properties on the SpeechSynthesisUtterance object, developers can fine-tune the characteristics of the spoken output to suit user preferences and application requirements.
Error handling is an essential aspect of robust text to speech implementation. Developers should anticipate and handle potential errors that may arise during the speech synthesis process, such as network connectivity issues, unsupported speech synthesis features, or voice selection errors.
By incorporating error-handling mechanisms, developers can gracefully handle unexpected scenarios and provide users with informative feedback when issues occur.
JavaScript offers numerous advantages for implementing TTS conversion, making it a preferred choice for developers seeking to enhance accessibility and user experience within web applications. Let’s explore some of the key benefits of using JavaScript for TTS conversion:
One of the primary benefits of using JavaScript for TTS conversion is the significant enhancement of accessibility within web applications.

In JavaScript text to speech, you can use the SpeechSynthesisUtterance interface provided by the Web Speech API. First, create a SpeechSynthesisUtterance object, set the text content you want to convert into speech, configure speech parameters if needed, and then use the SpeechSynthesis.speak() method to initiate the speech synthesis process.
Treasury secretary janet l. yellen to announce new housing efforts as part of biden administration push to lower housing costs.
In a speech in Minneapolis, Secretary Yellen is announcing new funding sources for housing production, urges further action by Congress, states, and localities
WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen is delivering remarks on housing policy and announcing new efforts by the Treasury Department using its existing authorities to increase the supply of housing, as part of the Biden Administration’s push to lower costs. In announcing these new initiatives, Secretary Yellen will note that “[G]iven the scale of the challenge, we must and will continue to do more.”
The efforts Secretary Yellen is announcing include:
These initiatives build on a set of housing announcements that Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo made in March of this year in a blog post . Treasury also released a blog post today underscoring that increasing the nation’s housing supply is essential to addressing the long-term trend of rising housing costs.
Secretary Yellen is speaking at the recently completed Family Housing Expansion Project (FHEP), the largest new-unit project that the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) has developed in more than 20 years. The Project—which will contain 84 units serving households earning at or below 30% of the Area Median Income—was financed in part by $4 million in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) provided by Treasury and made possible by Minneapolis’ changes in zoning law. Secretary Yellen is also participating in a roundtable conversation with Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) and housing stakeholders.
Today’s announcements build on the Treasury’s Department’s efforts during the pandemic, which kept Americans in their homes and led to the most equitable recovery on record. Through Treasury’s Emergency Rental Assistance program and Homeowner Assistance Fund, state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments have distributed over $40 billion in assistance to homeowners and renters, including more than 12.3 million rental assistance payments to families in need. Over 58,000 households in Minnesota alone have received assistance. These programs resulted in historically low foreclosure and eviction rates even at the height of the pandemic, creating a stable foundation for robust economic growth and a historically low unemployment rate.
Treasury has further supported the construction of new housing through tax incentives, fiscal recovery programs, and support for housing lending by community lenders and state and local housing finance agencies. The efforts to be announced today will further strengthen several of these policies and programs. In her speech, Secretary Yellen will urge Congress to pass bipartisan legislation to expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, one of several of the Biden-Harris Administration’s legislative proposals that would collectively build and preserve over 2 million homes, and will urge additional state and local action to remove excessive legal barriers to housing development.
Through the Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP), Treasury invested more than $8.57 billion to community lenders during the pandemic to support lending to small businesses, consumers and affordable housing projects. Through the end of 2023, ECIP participants invested $1.2 billion in 433 affordable housing projects across the country.
Today, the Treasury Department is announcing that it will devote $100 million over three years in payments resulting from these investments to a new program at the Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund primarily focused on increasing the supply of affordable housing. This will allow the CDFI Fund to make its funds go further to support the production of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate-income households. The CDFI Fund projects that this new funding could support the financing of thousands of affordable housing units.
Earlier this year, Treasury and the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced an indefinite extension of the Federal Financing Bank’s (FFB) financing support for a risk-sharing initiative between HUD and state and local housing finance agencies. This program dramatically reduces costs for housing finance agencies by allowing them to borrow funds at just above the rate at which the U.S. government borrows. This extension is expected to create or preserve approximately 38,000 additional rental homes over the next ten years alone.
The Treasury Department and HUD are now actively exploring a major improvement to the HUD/FFB Multifamily Risk Sharing Program that would provide greater interest rate predictability to participating state and local housing finance agencies. Treasury has received stakeholder input suggesting this would substantially increase the number of new projects financed through the program. If implemented, Treasury estimates this would lead to thousands of additional housing units in the coming years.
In her speech, Secretary Yellen is calling on the 11 Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs)—government-sponsored enterprises that play an important role in the housing finance system—to increase their support for housing programs. The Federal Home Loan Banks are required by law to devote at least 10 percent of their net income to housing programs, and the Biden-Harris Administration’s FY2025 budget proposed increasing this requirement to 20 percent. The FHLBs have voluntarily increased their commitment to 15 percent, and Secretary Yellen is urging the FHLBs to increase this commitment to at least 20 percent, with a particular focus on prioritizing new construction.
If this level of commitment had been in place over the past five years, the FHLBs would have contributed nearly $2 billion more to housing programs than was required by law.
Treasury is releasing today an updated “Affordable Housing How-To Guide” that provides recipients of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) additional guidance about how to use recovery funds to increase the supply of housing. SLFRF recipients have already budgeted $7.4 billion to support construction, preservation, and stabilization of more than 25,000 units, including the project visited by Secretary Yellen today. This is part of $19 billion budgeted by SLFRF recipients for housing-related projects overall.
In March 2024, Treasury released new guidance to make it easier for states and localities with funds remaining to use those funds to boost the supply of housing, including by funding projects that support the needs of teachers, firefighters, nurses, and other workers increasingly priced out of certain markets. The updated “How-To Guide” gives recipients concrete information about how they can layer SLFRF funds with other resources to support new construction.
Finally, Secretary Yellen is announcing that the CDFI Fund is updating a rule for the Capital Magnet Fund (CMF), the CDFI Fund’s existing affordable housing investment program, to reduce administrative burden and allow recipients to focus their resources on the production and preservation of housing.
In FY 2023, the Capital Magnet Fund made over $320 million in awards projected to leverage more than $11.1 billion in resources to support affordable housing. Awardees planned to develop more than 32,700 affordable housing units, with half of awardees planning to invest a portion of their award to support housing in rural areas.
