Getting started with Festival (on iphone)

Question

I'd like to use Festival in an iPhone app. Is this possible, considering the way Festival generates and then plays back audio files? Can I pass Festival an audio file directly from itself to play back? or is there a different way to read things?

Is there another Text-to-speech engine for C/C++ to use with iphone?

EDIT: Free is better.

EDIT: Which files are absolutely necessary to include into my project what are the core methods of Festival? I looked at the example and the src but I'm having trouble.
