nice tom.
There are several applicatinos I've seen with java, especially the gamebook
related ones that really should! interact with screen reeaders but work very
badly.
I doubt this api could be included in them, but if anyone is making
something similar in future it might be a good thing.
Beware the grue!

Subject: [Audyssey] New Java Speech API
Hi all,
Tonight while chatting on the Audiogames.net forum a guy passed on a
link to a free open source Java speech API for VI Java developers.
This is definitely something we could use. Here is the information.
= Phonemic version 1.0, June 1, 2011 =
== Introduction ==
This is the first official release of the Phonemic speech library.
Phonemic is a Java library that allows its users to write
cross-platform speaking applications.
== Big Features ==
* Support for many major speech systems, including Microsoft SAPI,
JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and ORCA.
* Provides a single API to communicate with all engines.
* Support for various types of speech modifications (when available):
* Volume control
* Pitch control (either manually or automatically through the
speakChar functions).
* Speed control
* Speech modifications are consistent across engines.
* Support for blocking speech calls (when available).
* Ability to query an engine for its features.
* Ability to switch engines on the fly (Windows and Mac OS X only).
* A queuing system that enables the use of speech priorities, even
when not supported natively by the engine.
* A speech processing mechanism to enable advanced pre-processing of
speech before it is sent to an engine.
* Ability to query for / change voice when supported by the engine.
== Supported Engines ==
Phonemic currently supports the following platforms and speech engines:
* Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7:
* Microsoft Speech API (SAPI)
* JAWS
* NVDA
* Mac OS X
* Carbon (on Intel Macs only), the same speech interface used by VoiceOver.
* The `say' command
* Linux
* speech-dispatcher (available by default on Vinux and Ubuntu), the
same speech interface used by ORCA.
