I don't think IRC has got anything to do with text to speech conversion. Java Speech API deals with this. Personally I haven't worked on this, but the following links might help you

ok thanks.. is there any other way to call audio file for text file. for eg, if i open the text file it should cal the corresponding audio file which is stored already and it shuld read that text file. how to do this pl help me..:(

[dswastik]

Do you mean there would two files stored, one text and another audio. Once the text file is opened, the corresponding audio file is opened and played?

ya you are right..tat is wat i need..help me..

May be you could do something like this.
1. Maintain a map the text file name is the key, audio file name is the value.
2. Prompt the user to select the text file using filechooser dialog.
3. Match the selected file name with the key in map, fetch the value i.e. the audio file name
4. Play the audio file.
