I know that Apple hasn’t given access to voice recognition, but do we have access to voice synthesis. If they haven’t given us an API, would it be possible to hack the accessibility APIs to work even for people with VoiceOver turned off?

The last time i checked, the API’s required for voice synthesis (NSSynthesis) are only available on Mac OS. The API’s have not yet been ported to iphone.
I have heard a lot from this company:

Their product is supposed to work quite well, although their licensing scheme is a bit steep.
