Text to Speech was introduced in Android 1.6 : Donut, as mentioned in the documentation.

Also check out the blogpost here.

EDIT : In case, you meant RecognizerIntent of the SpeechToText API, it requires an API level of Android 1.5 : Cupcake.

The package android.speech has existed since API level 3 (i.e. Android v1.5). Many classes, interfaces, constants in this package have appeared much later. The RecognitionService-class (which many keyboard apps use) came in API level 8. Not much has happened since but every API level has still added a few things.

So it really depends on which interface your app wants to use (the plain RecognizerIntent-intent or the RecognizerService), and which speech recognizer implementation it wants to use (Google Voice Search?) and for which versions this implementation is available.
