iOS Swift - Text to Speech make the app crash

I have an app with Text To Speech feature when clicking on a button. My code worked fine until it made the app crash. I think this bug must be related to the new release of iOS 9.3.3 but I can't find anything on the net that's why I'm posting here.

Here is the function triggered by a button: 

func textToSpeech(){

  let textSynthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer()

  let utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: self.targetLanguage)

  utterance.voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: self.languageFlag)

  textSynthesizer.speakUtterance(utterance)

}

When I click on the button I get this error on the AVSpeechSynthesizer initialisation :

Error : Thread 1 : EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code:1, address: 0x0)

And in console: (lldb)

Does anyone has an idea of how to fix this ? Thanks, Alex

Try this -:

    func text2Speech(text: String,languageCode: String) {
    do {
        try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(.playback,mode: .default)
        
    } catch let error {
        print("\(error.localizedDescription)")
    }
    let speechUtterance: AVSpeechUtterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: text)
    speechUtterance.rate = AVSpeechUtteranceMaximumSpeechRate / 2.0
    speechUtterance.voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: languageCode)
    
    speechSynthesizer.speak(speechUtterance)
}
