With the Java Speech API you can incorporate speech technology into user interfaces for your applets and applications based on Java technology. This API specifies a cross-platform interface to support command and control recognizers, dictation systems and speech synthesizers.
Cross-Industry Development
The Java Speech API was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. in collaboration with leading speech technology companies: Apple Computer, Inc., AT&T, Dragon Systems, Inc., IBM Corporation, Novell, Inc., Philips Speech Processing, and Texas Instruments Incorporated. Sun works with third-party speech companies to encourage the availability of multiple implementations.
What is the Java Speech API?
The Java Speech API defines a standard, easy-to-use, cross-platform software interface to state-of-the-art speech technology. Two core speech technologies are supported through the Java Speech API: speech recognition and speech synthesis. Speech recognition provides computers with the ability to listen to spoken language and to determine what has been said. In other words, it processes audio input containing speech by converting it to text. Speech synthesis provides the reverse process of producing synthetic speech from text generated by an application, an applet or a user. It is often referred to as text-to-speech technology.
