I am looking to make a final project for my computer science class a
TTS in java. We are using the Ready environment. I am having a tough
time trying to find any source code to begin with, or even to help me
out with starting a TTS. IS there anyone who can aid me in my starting
of the project?

I forgot to mention TTS is text-to-speech if someone did not know.

By TTS I presume you mean Text To Speech.  

Do you want to write a text to speech liberty from scratch, or just
hook into somebody else TTS to sex up an app?

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/texttospeech.html
for my links.

see http://mindprod.com/project/projects.html
for my suggested list of projects. Perhaps one could be adapted to use
TTS.

Well, I've heard that setting up one from scratch would take forever,
and I only have three weeks to be able to do it (remember, schedule of
a university student). I'd prefer to be able to use someone else's
library to be able to set-up my own TTS application if at all possible.

I was thinking you might do one with a limited vocabulary. You
prerecord all the words and just glue them together.

so would that mean I'd have to make like 1000 .wav files?

Depends on the size of your vocabulary.  A app like a directory
assistance lookup you might need only 20.

but again, are there already premade libraries out there that can help
me so I can at least make an application from the libraries?

There is not much to it. You just record using the Windows Recorder
and prune with Goldwave.

Is there any way to obtain a Java API for this?

The first result when putting "java tts" in Google is Suns own Java
speech API: 
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/speech/index.jsp

Sounds about right ;) Best of luck.

Did you try searching the web?  First 2 results on Google are the Java  
Speech API and FreeTTS (an open source implementation of the API).

To create the vocabulary, you can use a free standing utility.  It
does not need to be part of your app.
