The Java™ platform has a stigma of being a poor performer and has often
been shunned as an environment for developing speech engines. We decided to
better understand this stigma by writing a speech synthesis engine entirely in
the Java programming language.
Remarkably, we were able to get better performance from our engine than one
using similar algorithms written in C. Our team, composed of three engineers
with significant backgrounds in the C and Java programming languages, also
found it easier to make algorithm modifications using the Java programming
language than using C.
