Outputting Java Speech sound as .wav file

Question

Hi there,

I have been looking for a way to save the output of speech synthesis as a .wav file. I have downloaded FreeTTS and CloudGarden, but FreeTTS has problems with setting up MBROLA voices on windows machines, and the CloudGarden examples contain depreceated methods which produce errors even if the previous versions of the jsapi are used instead.

What I am looking for is a way to save speech to a .wav file, rather than it being played through the speakers. All I care about is that it compiles, and that it works.

If anyone has any knowledge, or knows of a good tutorial, that'd be great :)

Thanks again, Fiona

The FreeTTS distribution includes a program that will allow you to test many of the features of FreeTTS. This program is started by running the following command:

The FreeTTS Test Program has options that might be interesting for you:
