Can't get text to speech to work

Question

I get the following message when I try the code below:

2014-07-28 13:19:14.251 MySingleView[3750:461865] Speech initialization error: 2147483665

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

I'm running this in an iPad 2 simulator on my Mac running Mavericks using Xcode6 - Beta 4.

import UIKit
import AVFoundation

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var voice = AVSpeechSynthesizer()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    }

    @IBAction func buttonPushed(sender: UIButton) {
        var utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string:"This is a test")
        voice.speakUtterance(utterance)
    }
}

Answer 1

The iOS 8 simulators do not support text-to-speech. However, the iOS 7 simulators do still support text-to-speech (at least as of Xcode 6.1), so if your app works under iOS 7 you can test it on your desktop.
