Trippy! I like her better in compact mode then non-compact mode, and I also like her iOS 7 incarnation better than her iOS 8 one. She's too… I don't know, shaky… In high-quality rmode. So is Samantha, for that matter. I like a human sounding voice, yes, but one that's smoother in the transitions between words. As an example, I'd have to say my favorite Voice is Kate from NeoSpeech. I use her on Voice Dream Reader all the time, and I hardly ever switch to anything else.
