Question

I dont understand this syntax error , insert ")" to complete MethodInvocation Syntax error, insert ";" to complete Statement at demojsapi.main(demojsapi.java:46)

I am actually working on a java project converting text to speesh with this code :

import javax.speech.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.speech.synthesis.*;

public class demojsapi
{
    String speaktext;

    public void dospeak(String speak,String  voicename)
    {
        speaktext=speak;
        String voiceName =voicename;
        try
        {
            SynthesizerModeDesc desc = new SynthesizerModeDesc(null,"general",  Locale.US,null,null);
            Synthesizer synthesizer =  Central.createSynthesizer(desc);
            synthesizer.allocate();
            synthesizer.resume();
            desc = (SynthesizerModeDesc)  synthesizer.getEngineModeDesc();
            Voice[] voices = desc.getVoices();
            Voice voice = null;
            for (int i = 0; i < voices.length; i++)
            {
                if (voices[i].getName().equals(voiceName))
                {
                    voice = voices[i];
                    break;
                }
            }
            synthesizer.getSynthesizerProperties().setVoice(voice);
            synthesizer.speakPlainText(speaktext, null);
            synthesizer.waitEngineState(Synthesizer.QUEUE_EMPTY);
            synthesizer.deallocate();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            String message = " missing speech.properties in " + System.getProperty("user.home") + "\n";
            System.out.println(""+e);
            System.out.println(message);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        demojsapi obj=new demojsapi(); obj.despeak("shit","kevin16");
    }
}

Answer 1

The despeak method does not exist. You should call dospeak instead and with regular quotes:

obj.dospeak("foo", "kevin16");
