Re: [sc-users] freetts and windows (noob)

hi,

i recently reviewed the install process. this is from the current JSpeech help file:

JSpeech lets you use the java freetts speech synthesizer.

To use this synthesizer, you will have to install the free java text-to-speech synthesis package "FreeTTS"
	- Download and unzip the 1.2.2 binary from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetts
	- Copy at least the following files from the lib folder into your's system class path:
		cmu_us_kal.jar
		cmulex.jar
		en_us.jar
		freetts.jar
	  (the java system class path for example on Mac OS X is : /Library/Java/Extensions)
	- Copy the file speech.properties into your home folder (~)
	- (Re)boot SwingOSC

hope that helps.

best, -sciss-
