No, I don't think so. I think that's a Nuance voice. I note the compact and non compact versions: thus my conclution that it's a Nuance voice. Speaking of voices and their responsivness, here's what I have found in the last few days. The Apple voices are the quickest to respond to key presse

No, believe me, there is no way to activate the Stream for Audible on the Mac, nor will there ever be. That's why I went the iPHone rout instead of the second gen Stream. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray Still a happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone 6+ and Apple TV user! Sent from my Mac
