How to programmatically use iOS voice synthesizers? (text to speech)

Starting from iOS 7 Apple provides the following API...

#import 
…
AVSpeechUtterance *utterance = [AVSpeechUtterance 
                            speechUtteranceWithString:@"Hello world"];
AVSpeechSynthesizer *synth = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc] init];
[synth speakUtterance:utterance];
