Is there any way, by which we can convert speech to Text using iPhone SDK?
Yes, if you are Google, Dragon, or Siri. The iPhone SDK does not provide any access to the iPhone 3GS's built-in voice recognition, which is apparently none too elaborate anyway. Your best bet is to find a web service to which you can upload audio clips for analysis.

This looks promising.
Krishnan ,This is Reply for your Comment Is that the same case for Text to speech?.
No there is Library called OpenEars by using this Library you may achieve the text to Speech functionality.
OpenEars
OpenEars is an open-source iOS library` for implementing round-trip English language speech recognition and text-to-speech on the iPhone and iPad.
You should take a look of this library.
As of iOS 10 (not released yet), Apple has their own speech recognition API.

I am developing an iOS application in Titanium Appcelerator. I want help with speech to text functionality/api.
Is there any documentation available for the same?
You can use this COCOA class as reference.
Also there is an project at GITHUB, which might be of your interest.
I have used Openears but for reverse purpose. Text to Speech.
Also there are multiple SO questions as well that you can refer to.
SO Question 1, Question 2
Now that we know that the iPhone has speech to text and text to speech capabilities, as demonstrated by Siri. Is this going to be an API available to developers? Has apple said anything about this?
Apple have not said anything about an API for Siri yet. Speech to text is implemented in iOS 5 in the form of a new button on the keyboard, so you can dictate chunks of text.
iPhone has had text-to-speech since at least the 3GS. And no, they haven't said anything about exposing an API.
If it's text-to-speech you're after, you might be tempted to license Nuance's voice "Samantha", which is the same as the US Siri voice. You can get it via Nuance's API or just using OS X's say -o command if you only need TTS at compile-time.
However, doing either will result in your app being rejected by Apple for infringing their trademarks. They will reject the app even if you make no reference to Siri in the app, even if the app bears no resemblance to Siri, and even if the app is not any kind of personal assistant.
i have a string.i need to convert it to Voice.
can any one help me to convert text to speech.
now i am using Openears library for this.however there is some problem when i convert text to speech.can any one provide me a good way to do it without Openears library.
Flite may be worth investigating. See this blog post.
NSSpeechSynthesizer class is there for Mac application. I think it also supports iPhone. Have dig at it. If you have Arron Hillegass "Cocoa Programming for Mac" book, you can find Mac application. All the best.
I am looking into implementing text-to-speech in an iPhone (Monotouch) app I am creating. What good such libraries are there around? If necessary I will have to map a standard iPhone library to Monotouch.
There is no built-in standard iOS library with a public API. Several apps in the App store use the CMU flite (or Festival Lite speech synthesis engine) library, for which there are ports of the library to the iOS/iPhone, perhaps here.
The Monotouch wiki has an explanation here describing how to cross-compile Flite for the iPhone and interop the libraries with Monotouch.
Is it possible to recognize sign language (like American Sign Language, ASL) in an iPhone or Android application?
Are there libraries that are available to do this? If not, how would you suggest I get started in writing an application that could recognize sign language?
Yes, it should be possible with the video camera. However, I am not aware of an existing code base that supports this. You could look into OpenCV. It is available for both iPhone and android.
