Overview

FreeTTS is a free, open-source speech synthesis system written entirely in Java. It provides a complete implementation of text-to-speech conversion.

1. Setup and Dependencies

Maven Dependencies

<!-- pom.xml --> <dependencies> <!-- FreeTTS Core --> <dependency> <groupId>com.sun.speech</groupId> <artifactId>freetts</artifactId> <version>1.2.2</version> </dependency> <!-- JSAPI Implementation --> <dependency> <groupId>javax.speech</groupId> <artifactId>jsapi</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> <!-- Audio Support --> <dependency> <groupId>javax.sound</groupId> <artifactId>sampled</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> </dependencies>

Manual JAR Download (Alternative)

If Maven dependencies don't work, download these JARs manually:

  • freetts.jar
  • jsapi.jar
  • cmu_time_awb.jar (voice packages)
  • cmu_us_kal.jar (voice packages)

2. Basic Text-to-Speech

Simple TTS Implementation

import com.sun.speech.freetts.Voice; import com.sun.speech.freetts.VoiceManager; public class BasicTextToSpeech { private Voice voice; public BasicTextToSpeech() { initializeVoice(); } private void initializeVoice() { // Set property to use FreeTTS System.setProperty("freetts.voices", "com.sun.speech.freetts.en.us.cmu_us_kal.KevinVoiceDirectory"); // Get voice manager VoiceManager voiceManager = VoiceManager.getInstance(); // Get available voices System.out.println("Available voices:"); Voice[] voices = voiceManager.getVoices(); for (Voice v : voices) { System.out.println(" - " + v.getName() + " (" + v.getDomain() + ")"); } // Select a voice (kevin16 is commonly available) voice = voiceManager.getVoice("kevin16"); if (voice == null) { System.err.println("Cannot find voice: kevin16"); return; } // Allocate resources voice.allocate(); System.out.println("Voice initialized: " + voice.getName()); } public void speak(String text) { if (voice == null) { System.err.println("Voice not initialized"); return; } try { voice.speak(text); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Error speaking text: " + e.getMessage()); } } public void setRate(float wordsPerMinute) { if (voice != null) { voice.setRate(wordsPerMinute); } } public void setPitch(float pitch) { if (voice != null) { voice.setPitch(pitch); } } public void setVolume(float volume) { if (voice != null) { voice.setVolume(volume); } } public void destroy() { if (voice != null) { voice.deallocate(); } } public static void main(String[] args) { BasicTextToSpeech tts = new BasicTextToSpeech(); // Basic speech tts.speak("Hello, this is a text to speech demonstration."); // With different settings tts.setRate(120f); // words per minute tts.setPitch(150f); // pitch shift tts.setVolume(0.8f); // volume (0.0 to 1.0) tts.speak("This text is spoken with different voice settings."); tts.destroy(); } }
