iPhone: Speech Recognition is in IOS SDK available?

Does anyone knows that if "speech to text" and "text to speech" api's used in Siri are accessible in IOS 5 or IOS 6 SDK?

I researched but couldn't find anything about it in documentation, so if thats not included in SDK are there any "Siri" quality libraries in market?

Check out Openears at: http://www.politepix.com/openears I've used it experimentally and it worked great. It will recognize preset vocabularies very well. There is a slight pause of 1/2 second or so before it recognizes the word and it gets confused in an environment with a lot of voices (a crowded restaurant), but in a reasonably quiet setting I found it works great.
