Text to Speech on iOS

Question

I\'d like to add text to speech on the iOS, but noticed that NSSpeechSynthesizer seems to be missing from Cocoa-Touch.

Are there any third party, commercial or FOSS, lib

Answer 1

Have a look a CMU's Flite TTS engine.

There are a few iOS ports of Flite, for example

• https://github.com/KingOfBrian/VocalKit
• https://github.com/jonbarlo/iPhoneTTSSampleApp
• https://bitbucket.org/sfoster/iphone-tts/ (not working)
