corespeechd is sending a massive amount to data to Internet. Why?

On a brand new Mac Mini 2018 with Mojave, I've noticed in Activity Monitor the corespeechd process is , even without a connected microphone, and with Ask Siri disabled, sending a large amount of data out and consuming network resources. Why? corespeechd is an Apple process part of the CoreSpeech.framework, but that's all I could find out.

If you have Mojave, could you open Activity Monitor and see if you have the same issue, and let me know?

I did the same thing with the activity monitor running, and saw CPU utilization go from 55% to 0%.

Thanks for finding this. I was getting tired of killing corespeechd every day to two. Let’s hope this gets a permanent fix
