#54738 — speech to text voice files

I decided to try Tom's voice.  Because I had Activity Monitor open to 
Network, I found that it was a 1.12 GB download.  (I don't know if there 
was another way to see the size.)

I think it's slightly better than the standard voices.  I'd like to try 
other custom voices but don't want my disk bloated with files I decide 
not to use.  Is there a way to get rid of custom voice files?

Found it!  /System/Library/Speech/Voices/
I was mistaken, Tom is only 462 MB.  Softwareupdated must have 
downloaded something previously.

I'm surprised that Alex is the only other big file.  Fred sounds almost 
as good, and he's only 42 KB!  Well, how about that!

You think Fred sounds almost as good as Alex?

I think a trip to the doctor for a hearing test is in order.

Have you held a candle to Susan?

And is that a quote?

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that

Yes, but don't tell her I said it.  I don't want her to think I'm a 
creep with a voice fetish.

if by 'almost' you mean 'not even close, which explains why the voice
file is 1/10th the size'.
