I'm looking at making a text to speech program in java. I do not have
much expertise in this area of java, and was looking for libraries
online to help me out. I don't even know where to begin. Can anyone
help me?

Look up the Mbrola project, FreeTTS, and Sphinx (all on sourceforge I
believe) .
I personally like the site http://www.quadmore.com/

Great! I like the links but now I'm having troubles trying to figure
out how it all works. Has anybody used this stuff before? I seem to be
getting lost in the instructions to install the mbrola

Can you explain in simple English how to download and install the .dll
files? I'm having a hard time with it. I always hate installing new
programs.

DLLs need to be unzipped and placed somewhere on the path or the
java.library.path (see http://mindprod.com/applet/wassup.html)
