The JavaTM Speech API allows developers to
incorporate speech technology into user interfaces for their Java programming la
nguage applets and

list of available JSAPI implementations.
Sun has also developed the Java Speech Grammar Format (JSGF) to provide
cross-platform control of speech recognizers. The
JSGF specification is also
available for download.
To provide cross-platform control of speech synthesizers, Sun
is developing the Java Speech Markup Language (JSML). The beta of
the JSML specification is now available for review.
The Java Speech API was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. in
collaboration with leading speech technology companies: Apple
Computer, Inc., AT&T, Dragon Systems, Inc., IBM Corporation,
Novell, Inc., Philips Speech Processing, and Texas Instruments
