FreeTTS is an open-source speech synthesis platform entirely developed in the Java language. It derives from the Flite engine and incorporates the Java Speech API created by Sun.
The system includes support for end-of-speech indicators, which allows software such as Gnopernicus to control speech progression, enhance voice concatenation, and coordinate multiple voice outputs. Performance tests conducted by Sun in 2002 on the Solaris platform demonstrated that FreeTTS operated at speeds two to three times greater than Flite during that period.
