FreeTTS at JavaOne
It was great to hear a little bit of FreeTTS during the technical keynote at JavaOne. Tor Norbye gave a demo of JRuby integration into netbeans. He showed how you can create a Rails application using JRuby and Netbeans. In his app, he wrote a blog reader that would speak an article. He used FreeTTS to to do the speech synthesis. Tor's demo is online here on the JavaOne site. Tor's demo is about 25 minutes into the video. Unfortunately, the FreeTTS audio is barely audible in the online version of the demo.
