text to speech iphone app

Good Evening,

I'm looking for a simple text to speech for iphone app development. I see numerous posts about this including ...

Text-to-speech libraries for iPhone

Question though, this link is all third party developers to use text to speech. I thought apple has a class reference to create speech? (nsspeechsynthesizer) Can someone please explain? Does apple not provide this for us?

Thanks

NSSpeechSynthesizer works fine on Mac.VSSpeechSynthesizer is available for the iOS - but it is a private API and as such will likely be rejected from the app store. However you can still make apps for private consumption. I consider this a bug as it makes creating accessible apps for the partially sighted for instance, harder. I have filed Bug ID #: 9451650 Bug Title: VSSpeechSynthesizer is Private.

As other answers have mentioned, Apple does not include NSSpeechSynthesizer in iOS, only in Mac OS X.
