How do I get started with text-to-speech conversion in iPhone?

Google TTS works only for short sentences. Do you have a clue why? – Crosspollinate

Yup.. Its maximum supported text length is 100 characters. So split-up ur long sentence in to parts(each contains 100 characters) , store in to an array and pass one by one to the TTS method. – Leathaleather
