            <table bgcolor="#FFCC66" width="100%">
                <tr>
                    <td align=center width="100%">
	                <h1>JSAPI Time Demo</h1>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </center>

        <p>This demo provides a simple example of using JSAPI to tell
        the time using the high quality FreeTTS cluster unit selection
        voice.</p>

        <p><b>NOTE</b>: To build and run this JSAPI demo, you must 
        <a href="../../../docs/jsapi_setup.html">set up your environment to
	use JSAPI</a>.

        <h3>Building</h3>
        <p>To build this demo, merely type the following in a shell from
	any directory in the FreeTTS hierarchy:
        <ul>
            <code>ant -find demo.xml</code>
        </ul>
        <p>Doing so will create
        <code>bin/JTime.jar</code> under the top level
	directory.  You can run the demo 
        using <code>java -jar</code> (see "Running" below).

        <h3>Running</h3>
        <p>To run this demo, type the following command from a command
        window at the top level FreeTTS directory:</p>
        <ul>
            <p><code>java -jar bin/JTime.jar</code></p>
        </ul>

        <p>You should hear the current time and see the following prompt:</p>
        <ul>
            <li><b>Enter time (HH:MM):</b></li>
        </ul>

        <p>Enter the time in a format as follows:</p>
        <ul>
            <li><b>Enter time (HH:MM): 12:35</b></li>
        </ul>

        <p>You should hear "The time is now exactly twenty-five to one
        in the afternoon".</p> 
        <p><img src="../../../docs/images/speaker1.gif"> Click <a
        href="../../../docs/audio/12-35.au">AU</a> or <a
        href="../../../docs/audio/12-35.wav">WAV</a> to listen to it.</p>

        <h3>Specifying a Voice</h3> 

        <p>By default, this application will use the "alan" voice
        that comes with the lib/cmu_time_awb.jar file.  As of this
        release, the "alan" voice is the only time voice that comes
        with FreeTTS.</p>
        <p>We now have, however, the ability for you to
        create your own FreeTTS voices.  See the 
        <a href="../../../tools/FestVoxToFreeTTS/README.html">
        FestVoxToFreeTTS</a> documentation for creating your own
        voice.  Once you create your own voice, place its jar
        file in the lib directory and  specify the name of the 
        voice as the first (and only) parameter on the command line 
        (replace "myvoicename" with the name of your new voice):</p>
        <ul>
            <p><code>java -jar bin/JTime.jar myvoicename</code>
	</ul>
