But is there a file created somewhere on the computer? I just don't want to end up with a folder somewhere taking up memory for nothing. I recently just found out that clicking an attachment in Mail saves a copy of the file in User>Library>Mail Downloads. I cleared out years worth of attachments and cleared up a few GB of disk space. I don't want Text to Speech to do the same.
