Is it possible to use TTS in iOS

Does anyone know if it is possible to implement TTS in iOS development like in Android? Is it in a library or something? I believe I heard something about utility and TTS in iOS but I have had difficulty finding any documentation on this matter. Any help would be appreciated.

Does Apple have speech to text?

With Dictation, you can dictate text anywhere you can type it. Turn it on in Keyboard settings—your dictated utterances are sent to Apple to process your requests. A feedback window gauges your speaking volume and provides basic dictation controls.

flite TTS has been turned into an iOS library available here.

It is not too hard to implement. Be aware that the performance that you see in the simulator is way better than on a device and you will need to budget extra for device testing.

Check out my project, it's a really easy to use TTS that capitalizes on Google's TTS for translation services. To make it talk, just use an AVAudioPlayer to play the NSMutableData that the method passes. Check out the project here.
