I no longer seem to have a button for compact/HQ. Someone suggested I would find it near the braille button but the next swipe to the right takes me to the rotors. Should something else be checked before entering Voiceover? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil James" <nei...@gmail.com>

Interesting. I've had the same experience where at least to my ears, the compact voice sounds better then the high quality voice. I will take Neil's advice and switch the high quality voice on and give my iPhone a day or so and see what happens. Also, I wonder if the quality of the high quality voice differs between the iPhone 4 and the 4-s since the 4-s has the faster CPU and could at least in theory run the high quality voice better. I have both phones and will do a side by side comparison and report back.

I don't know whether or not the phone is more responsive using the compact
voices, but I definitely think that they sound way better than the High
Quality ones.

The compaq voice is the voice that is on the phone by default. The higher
quality voice should have ben downloaded automatically when you first
obtained your phone. Mine came already with the high quality voice, don't
know if it came that way out of the box or if the folks at the A T & T store who were helping me set it up. Some folks argue that the phone seems to be
more responsive with the compaq voices, again don't know if that is true.

Eric,

You are using Compact Voice when it says Compact Voice On,and you are not
using it when it is off.

The higher quality or premium voice is in use when the setting is off, i.e.
not compact.

So not compacting your voice, equals better higher quality voice.

note, that when you turn compact voice off, you may not notice a difference
for a good few hours whilst the none compact voice is downloaded.

it is better to have it 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
