How do you disable the text to speech function on mac osx?

February 4th, 2010 | by admin |

This is the "say" function on OSX via terminal. I am running 10.5.6
I have disabled ssh, and I know you can edit the voice via system prefs:speech

however I want to completely disable the say function. I have far too many co-workers who enjoy scripting say commands on my computer when im not around.

My thought is that if they are doing that to you and you disable the function, then they will find something worse to do to your computer. What about setting up account users under System Preferences so you can sign out when you leave your work area (and then later sign back in with a password) without having to shut down your Mac.
