There are a few IOS apps that do this in real time. The best one by far is 'Voice Dream' and they use the same voices. It is basically and audiobook in your pocket anytime, anywhere for any text file and shows the words as it is reading back, start/stop/pause, adjust speed, change voice, etc etc. All around awesome. When the new google voices or equivalent make it to IOS, it will be almost human-like.
