The voices don't come from Adobe, which is why there are potential restrictions on them. It rather depends upon which voice you want to use - I think that quite a lot come from Microsoft, so it it's one of theirs you want to use, you'd have to approach them. There are no restrictions as far as Adobe is concerned on how you actually generate the voice - it's just the voice itself that may well be copyrighted.

Unfortunately, I don't know who you might contact at Apple to license that voice for use. There are several companies that sell licensed voices including Cepstral https://www.cepstral.com and NeoSpeech NeoSpeech: Text-to-Speech (TTS) Software https://neospeech.com/
