Save audio stream to mp3 file (iOS)

Question

I have an AVSpeechSynthesizer which converts text to speech, but i've encountered a problem.

I don't know how to save the audio file that it generates to a music file, which I would quite like to be able to do!

So here's my question, how do you save the AVSpeechSynthesizer output and if this isn't possible, can I us AVFoundation, CoreMedia or other public API to capture the output of the speakers, but before it has come out?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Unfortunately no, there is no public API available to capture the speaker output and looking over the docs for AVSpeechSynthesizer and related classes I don't see a way to capture any audio from it. You may want to look at 3rd party libraries to help with this.
