Speech Recognition/Synthesizer Script not running

[alienA2]

Hi I am trying to run this program that was made for speech recognition. However, it does not run.Tools used: notepadd++; Command Prompt Here is the errors:C:\java_work\JavaVoice>javac JavaVoice.javaJavaVoice.java:14: error: package javax.speech does not existimport javax.speech.AudioException;

Hi, maybe u fixed it already I try code above, following http://www.ryan-h.com/uncategorized/java-speech-jsapi-freetts/ and stops at this error (with the GUI built successfully) "System property "mbrola.base" is undefined. Will not use MBROLA voices." Just one notice, saw deep inside this line: javax.speech.EngineList elist = Central.availableSynthesizers(null); (with Java Decompiler tool for the Central.class), it call loadProps() function with the content below: private static final synchronized void loadProps() { if(loadedProperties) return; loadedProperties = true; String s = File.separator; String as[] = new String[2]; as[0] = System.getProperty("user.home") + s + "speech.properties"; as[1] = System.getProperty("java.home") + s + "lib" + s + "speech.properties"; for(int i = 0; i < as.length; i++) { String s1 = as; Properties properties = new Properties(); File file = new File(s1); try { FileInputStream fileinputstream = new FileInputStream(file); properties.load(new BufferedInputStream(fileinputstream)); fileinputstream.close(); } catch(FileNotFoundException _ex) { } catch(IOException _ex) { } for(Enumeration enumeration = properties.propertyNames(); enumeration.hasMoreElements() { String s2 = (String)enumeration.nextElement(); if(s2.endsWith("EngineCentral")) { String s3 = properties.getProperty(s2); try { registerEngineCentral(s3); } catch(EngineException _ex) { } } } } } So be sure to put the speech.properties in the right directory (try to print out System.getProperty("user.home") to get the location)
