Hi Isaac, Thanks for your reply. I actually found this little helloworld freeTTS example online: http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Sound;action=display;num=1204335245
I want to write a simple HelloWorld example in ColdFusion. I've got all the jar files I need. cmudict04.jar cmulex.jar cmutimelex.jar cmu_time_awb.jar cmu_us_kal.jar en_us.jar freetts.jar jsapi.jar would you be albe to show me how to do this in ColdFusion please? <cfset Voice = createObject("java","com.sun.speech.freetts.Voice") /> <cfset VoiceManager = createObject("java","com.sun.speech.freetts.VoiceManager") /> <cfset voiceInstance = Voice> <cfset voiceName[1] = "kevin16"> <cfset VoiceMgrInstance = VoiceManager.getInstance()> <cfset voiceInstance = VoiceMgrInstance.getVoice(voiceName)> <cfdump var="#voiceInstance#"> Your help on this matter is greatly appreciated.
