Where are Mac dictation system files located?

I need to download a 1.2 gigabit download from Apple that will allow me to use the dictation feature on my Mac offline. But I don't want to connect that Mac to the internet. I have another Mac connected to the internet and would like to use that one to download the file and then I could transfer it to the other computer. But I can't find a website that has this download. Any advice?

Or, since I already downloaded this file to my online Mac, where its it located on that computer? Thanks.

They are installed in /System/Library/Speech/Recognizers
 
I didn't find either of these directories or these types of files.

The two Macs I have are:

Online: Ventura (Directories: Speech/Synthesizers/MacinTalk.SpeechSynthesizer
Offline: Mojave (Directories: Speech/Synthesizers and Speech/Voices
