Interface Voice

public interface Voice

A voice "font" for text-to-speech applications. Note that the Java Speech API defines a "Voice" class. However, this class does not provide enough information to handle the basic needs of CSS and XSL-FO. Hence the need for an interface that will allow implementations to wrap such objects in something that can provide the missing information.
