Hi there! I do believe you can just uncheck that voice in where you set it up and check the one you wish to use! Also Somewhere in your home directory library [I think] is where you can find where the voice's are kept and can get rid of them if you want to make more space! And any other voice's you might of got and do not want! I'm sure someone who knows better will tell you! I'm still on snowy kitty so do not have access to any of those! Colin
