Question

According to the man page

say -v '?'

should list all installed voices, but it lists all available voices.

Is there a way of getting only the installed voices?

>System Preferences > Accessibility > Speech

, clicking the voice selector and in there

Customize

For terminal if you have the voices selected an example of the command line:

say -v Fred I have a frog in my throat. No, I mean a real frog!

Thank you, but this does not solve my problem.

I need a list of installed languages from the command line.

say -v '?' gives

Agnes en_US # Isn't it nice to have a computer that will talk to you?

Albert en_US # I have a frog in my throat. No, I mean a real frog!

Alex en_US # Most people recognize me by my voice.

Alice it_IT # Salve, mi chiamo Alice e sono una voce italiana.

Allison en_US # Hello, my name is Allison. I am an American-English voice.

but this are all the languages available from Apple. I would like to find out which languages are installed.
