Is text-to-speech possible with Apple Watch WatchKit?

Question

Is Text-To-Speech possible in WatchKit? Basically, I want to play audio based on text on an Apple Watch. How could I achieve this?

Answer 1

Yes you can now derive you class from AVSpeechSynthesizerDelegate, and add

import AVFoundation

var synth:AVSpeechSynthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer.init()
synth.delegate = self
synth.speak(utterance)
