Method Detail

initialize

public static void initialize()

Perform initialization. Called once during startup. Add-ons should not call it.

waitUntilInitialized

public static void waitUntilInitialized()
                                 throws java.lang.InterruptedException

Wait for initialization to complete. Not relevant for add-ons, by the time add-on is loaded it's already complete.

Throws:

java.lang.InterruptedException

synthesize

public static byte[] synthesize(java.lang.String text)

Prepare sound from text

Parameters:

text - will be converted into sound

Returns:

bytes that can be fed to AudioSystem.getAudioFileFormat(java.io.InputStream) (after wrapping in ByteArrayInputStream)

say

public static void say(java.lang.String text)

Synthesize and say immediately. Mostly useful for debug. For addons it's better to use Layer1ApiSoundAlertMessage and synthesize(String) instead (this will prevent overlapping, for example)

Parameters:

text - will be converted into sound
