No. The inchecked status does not change. It appears that deleted
voices come back though I have not had the experience of the selected
voice (Alex) being changed on its own.

My thanks to both of you. I guess that I may have to live with the fact that I
will need to uncheck unwanted voices after every update.
Thanks and have a good weekend,

The unwanted voices are unchecked in both places. I removed then, will see
if they come back again after the next update.

Hi,
It's possible that they do come back, as there are also voices in there that I've never
downloaded. I believe that some of them are default voices for other languages. Make
sure that the voice is not checked in the "Customize" section of both System
Prefs and VO Utility. If it is still checked there, it would probably re-download during
an update.

Deleting voices does not seem to be permanent. I had removed the unwanted
voices so they would not show in the speech rotor but I suspect system updates
puts them back.

Hi,
The basic answer is "Yes". What exactly do you do to manually change it to
Alex? There are normally three places to check. VO Utility under Speech, the VO rotor
and System Preferences under Accessibility, Speech. Fore the VO rotor, press
VO-cmd-shift-left or right to the Voices item, then VO-cmd-shift-up or down through the
choices. In the VO rotor, if Automatically switch is enable, the voice will switch
depending on what accent the Mac feels that is required for the specific word.
All that said, if you do wish to get rid of Daniel, go to System, Library,
Speech, Voices, and locate Daniel. Get rid of both Daniel and Daniel Compact
speech folders. It will require your finger-print or Admin password depending
on your Mac model. The caution is to not get rid of the stock voices. So, if
you wish to get rid of Daniel, only get rid of Daniel and Daniel Compact.
don't forget to empty your Trash.

Hello everyone,
I just updated my MacBook Pro to version 10.14.4 today and encountered a
problem I had several updates ago. Although my preferred English voice is
Alex, Daniel keeps inserting itself into my work. Even when I manually switch
to Alex, my MacBook reverts to Daniel.
Since I have had this problem before and find it particularly annoying, I am
wondering what would happen if I erased Daniel, a stock voice of the operating
system and any other English languages for that matter from my Mac. Obviously,
I wouldn’t attempt to erase Alex.
I would appreciate feedback from others.
Thank you.
Mike
