I agree there, it's sometimes a bit confusing which is really meant! Perhaps we should look out for all those confusing ones and send comments to Apple.

Subject: VoiceOver Compact Voice On/Off

I would like to point out there is no mention in Settings
of a Premium voice. You either have Compact voice on or
off. It is misleading to talk about voices in any other
way, even if in practical terms that is the meaning.

Here is where I am confused. When I look at my settings,
I see "Use Compact Voice On". Does that mean I am
currently using the non-Compact voice or that the Compact
voice is on. If I tap that button and it changes to "Use
Compact Voice Off", is the compact voice off and I am
using the "premium" voice or will it begin using the
"premium", Compact voice when I tap that button and it
changes to "Use Compact Voice On".

There is probably some engineer's logic to these toggles,
but I do not see them as consistent throughout settings.
Sometimes it means this is the state you are in, but
other times it means this is what you will change to.

I am simple, so any simple explanation will be
appreciated.

To my ear, I am using the original VoiceOver voice when
my setting is "Use Compact Voice On". I have been told
this is the compact voice and not the high-quality,
"premium" voice. But, if I switch to that other one, it
sounds gravelly and distorted. I may not have perfect
pitch or all the qualities of some master musicians'
ears, but I do have good hearing "um, when I listen, so
says my wife). :)

Away with me...

Eric
