Is there an java API to retrieve the sound for word pronunciation?

Question

Most of the dictionary sites provide a mechanism to hear the sound of the word, are there API(s) which allow you to retrieve this sound file. eSpindle seems to do this, but I don't think this is free.

Answer 1

I found forvo which does this.

Answer 2

Checkout freetts - it is a text to speech synthesizer written entirely in Java and it is free.
