Speech Recognition

[Paul Thompson]

Greetings, I need to add speech recognition to my application. I
understand there is a javax.speech, where can I get this? Thanks, Paul

javax.speech is an interface, not an implementation. As far as I know,
there is no implementation that is still being updated. The most recent one
seems to be <http://freetts.sourceforge.net/docs/index.php>

For what it's worth, I used an advanced research tool to come across this
well hidden information that I can only recommend. You can access this tool
with a web browser by typing "www.google.com" into the address bar. Of
course it's extremely hard to learn how to properly use it, so to save you
the time: after a few hours of trying and thinking, I put "javax speech"
into the input box on that obscure page, and that's how I came across my
newfound knowledge.

Liebe Gruesse,
Joerg

Great information about such an advanced search tool!
But too bad that you didn't answer the question which was about speech
recognition and not synthesis... So I'm afraid the few hours you spent
on the issue were of no use in the end.
But great effort nevertheless!
To address the question, using the oracle internal search engine (and
alternatively using this tremendous "google" tool as well), here is a
list of implementations for the javax.speech API (for both synthesis and
recognition):
