+#Java-Speech API Credits
+
+##Credits
+The following people/organizations have helped provide functionality for the API,
+
+* JavaFlacEncoder Project
+ * Provided functionality to convert Wave files to FLAC format
+ * This allowed for the FLAC audio to be sent to Google to be "recognized"
+ * Created by Preston Lacey
+ * Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaflacencoder/
+* Google
+ * Provided functionality for two main API functions
+ * Recognizer
+ * Allows for speech audio to be recognized to text
+ * Synthesiser
+ * Allows for text to speech translation
+ * Homepage: http://google.com
+
+I would like to thank the above so much for your work, this wrapper/API could not have been
+created without it.

+#Java-Speech-API
+
+This is the project for the Java Speech API written in Java.
+
+## Description
+This API is designed to be simple and efficient, using the speech engines created by Google 
+to provide functionality for parts of the API. Essentially, it is an API written in Java, 
+including a recognizer, synthesizer, and a microphone capture utility. The project uses 
+Google services for the synthesizer and recognizer. While this requires an Internet 
+connection, it provides a complete, modern, and fully functional speech API in Java.
+
+##Features
+The API currently provides the following functionality,
+
+ * Microphone Capture API (Wrapped around the current Java API for simplicity)
+ * A speech recognizer using Google's recognizer service
+ * Converts WAVE files from microphone input to FLAC (using existing API, see CREDITS)
+ * Retrieves Response from Google, including confidence score and text
+ * A speech synthesiser using Google's synthesizer service
+ * Retrieves synthesized text in an InputStream (MP3 data ready to be played)
+ * Wave to FLAC API (Wrapped around the used API in the project, javaFlacEncoder, see CREDITS)
