Hi! That's another good point. You don't really have any control of it beyond VoiceOver, and even so, it still downloads the voice whether you use Voiceover or not, and basically whether you want the voice or not.
I find it strange that Apple hasn't implemented a method to disable this, or change it at least. For people such as myself, changing the region does it, but that's apparently not possible for UK iPhone users.
