Getting Set Up
As mentioned earlier, these steps assume that you are a member of the Apple Developer Connection (ADC), for which you can sign up for free. Visit https://connect.apple.com and log in to the developer connection. You’ll be given several menus and submenus on the left.

The installer will place several items of interest on your disk. First, it will place a JAR file, JavaSpeechFramework.jar , in the standard extensions directory of your JavaVM.framework folder, at /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Home/lib/ext/ (see Chapter 2 for more information on the Mac OS X JVM directory layout). It will place documentation in the directory /Developer/Research/JavaSpeechFramework/Documentation/, and sample code in the directory /Developer/Research/JavaSpeechFramework/Examples/.
