+#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)
