Hello, thanks so much for the response!

These are the steps advised by Apple Support so I've already disable Siri.

The process still starts up, it sends packets pretty much constantly if I'm connected to the internet, and when I quit the process it restarts again immediately.

... So unfortunately still stuck!

You can verify Dictation is OFF

Uninstall any and all third party Antivirus, Cleaners, Optimizers, speeder uppers....

 To trouble shoot further you can:

 —Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

  Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache,  etc. 

   Login and test. Reboot  as normal and test as caches get rebuilt.

In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a  reboot will put it back to normal mode.

This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode. 

 —Test issue in another user (or guest user) account  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

  This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

I'm roaming and I keep finding this process is chewing up CPU and bandwidth, I really need to conserve data.

I've been on support with Apple, they can't advise how to kill the process, and I can't speak to someone on the phone because I'm abroad.

I've tried to delete the .framework file (keeping a version on file in case it creates errors), but apparently I don't have permission. I've re-started in recovery mode, disabled csrutil and still cannot delete it due to permissions.

Does anyone here have information on what this process does, and how to stop it?

It worries me that this process is associated with Siri, and 'speech', it chews through CPU and bandwidth and is un-kill-able.

Thanks!

Change Siri preferences on Mac - Apple Support

>System Preferences> Accessibility> Siri

Check the box for “Enable Ask Siri”

“Voice Feedback” to “Off”

Uncheck “Enable Ask Siri”

Or possibly >System Preferences>SIRI>Uncheck “Enable Ask Siri”

From Activity Monitor.app you can 'sample' or 'force quit'' <corespeechd> if necessary in trouble shooting the issue.

Highlight and click open the process.
