Does this use lower quality voice? $ say -v Samantha -o out.aiff "Hello World" $ open out.aiff

  Yea "Samantha" isn't a Siri voice. They aren't listed in `say -v '?'`, but you can address a Siri voice directly like this (if it's installed): say -v "com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.custom.siri.helena" hi It'll error out mysteriously with the message `Open speech channel failed: -86`

    It print the same error even for voices that I have downloaded. Is there anything I can do to make it work?
