Hi,
I have been using this class code to access the FreeTTS API  and can access some of the features of voice manipulation. I would like to save the synth stream to file but I'm struggling to do this.
I know I have all the FreeTTS files and Mbrola correctly installed as I can hear the speech synth working.
But when I try to save to file by using SingleFileAudioPlayer I cant seem to find the wave file - it doesn't seem to be saving it.

Here is the code, I have highlighted the suspect code in red:


import com.sun.speech.freetts.Voice;
import com.sun.speech.freetts.VoiceManager;
import com.sun.speech.freetts.audio.JavaClipAudioPlayer;
import com.sun.speech.freetts.audio.SingleFileAudioPlayer;
import javax.sound.sampled.AudioFileFormat;

public class Basnik {
  String voiceName = "us2";
  float Pitch = 20.0;
  float pitchShift = 20.0;
  VoiceManager voiceManager;
  Voice voice;

   
  Basnik(String name, float pitch, float pitchshift){
    pitchShift = pitchshift;
    Pitch = pitch;
    voiceName = name;    
    this.setup();
  }
 
  void listAllVoices() {
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("All voices available:");     
    VoiceManager voiceManager = VoiceManager.getInstance();
    Voice[] voices = voiceManager.getVoices();
    for (int i = 0; i < voices.length; i++) {
    System.out.println("    " + voices[i].getName()
      + " (" + voices[i].getDomain() + " domain)");
    }
  }

  void setup() {
    listAllVoices();
    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("Using voice: " + voiceName);

    voiceManager = VoiceManager.getInstance();
    voice = voiceManager.getVoice(voiceName);
    voice.setAudioPlayer(new SingleFileAudioPlayer("C:\\max.wav",javax.sound.sampled.AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE));
    voice.setRate(30.0);
    voice.setPitch(Pitch);
    voice.setPitchShift(pitchShift);
    voice.setPitchRange(200.1); //mutace
    voice.setStyle("casual");  //"business", "casual", "robotic", "breathy"

    if (voice == null) {
    System.err.println(
    "Cannot find a voice named "
      + voiceName + ".  Please specify a different voice.");
    System.exit(1);
    }   
    voice.allocate();
  }

  void mluv(String _a){    

    if(_a==null){
    _a= "nothing";
    }
    voice.speak(_a);

  }

  void exit(){
    voice.deallocate(); 
  }
}


The main code for the programme is then

Basnik verlaine ;

void setup(){
 System.setProperty("mbrola.base","C:\\mbrola");
 verlaine = new Basnik("mbrola_us3",20.0,20.0);
 verlaine.mluv("I'm finding this difficult") ;
}



Why is the file not saving? I have tried various permutations of the file name C:\max, C:\max.wav etc..
Please help!
