While that post is about iOS 7, one of the issues is that Apple has been merging iOS and the Mac OS into a common interface. Another post you might want to read is the AppleVis forum discussion post Explanation to all of you who are confused about the voices in iOS 7. To summarize, it may be possible to move over copies of the missing voices and use them under Mavericks if you have access to an older installation of the operating system with the downloaded voices, and are comfortable working the Terminal command line and also understand the organization of System files, but this is probably not something you want to try as a relatively new user. Other web browser/operating systems should replace the Control key with the appropriate access key combination for that platform (e.g., use Alt+n and Alt+p in Internet Explorer).

There are about two dozen voices in various languages that are no longer downloadable under Mavericks, so this change is noticeable for people who use voices in multiple languages, and has been discussed on some of the Mac lists, like this recent thread about voice changes after the Mavericks upgrade on the Macvisionaries list. I believe this is related to which voices Nuance is willing to currently support and continue to support in the latests versions of both the Mac and iOS operating systems. The difference in available voices under Mavericks is more evident for some other languages, like Arabic, Hungarian, Greek, Norwegian, or Finnish, where the only available voice or voices completely changed. If you are still running an earlier version of the operating system, such as Lion (Mac OS X 10.7), when these voices first became available, or Mountain Lion, you may still be able to download and use these voices.

The voices that are no longer available for download under Mavericks include Sangeeta and the British English voice, Emily, that you list as being missing.

Jake, if you are comparing the voices that were available for download before Mavericks, there are indeed some voices that are no longer available, as well as a number of new voices that are available in each language. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that you were new to the Mac but I could be wrong. I just thought I would throw this information out there incase you were unaware. I sincerely hope this helps and I hope I am not coming off as patronizing in anyway.

If you are upgrading the currant operating system to a new version of itself (for example Mavericks 10.9 to 10.9.01) recovery mode is not an issue and you would complete the update according to the first process I described via the Apple menu.

In case you didn't know Command F5 can be used to toggle Voiceover on and off from anywhere in the system. Once in recovery mode you can use command F5 to turn on VoiceOver and follow the on screen instructions. After downloading the new OS from the app store you will go through some license agreements and the like and when it is time for the actual process of updating to occur your computer will restart in recovery mode. If you are updating your operating system (for example from Mountain Lion 10.8 to Mavericks 10.9) this is also accessible. You can also view descriptions of what changes come with each update. You have the option to instal all of the updates at once or instal only those updates you feel are important.

This will present a window including an HTML content displaying all available software updates. the first menu you should be on is the Apple Menu Arrow down until you hear software update and VO space on that.

If you are performing software updates specific to built in software on your Mac, this can be accomplished by doing a VO plus M to get to the menu bar. Jake, I know this doesn't answer your original question, but I would just like to let you know that you can perform software updates yourself with out sited assistance.
