There was a strange bug with iOS 5 where the HQ voice was always the US voice Samantha. Even though you would have the default voice and region set to another one. With all the iPads I tested I found this same behaviour under iOS 5 This was o all 3 generations of the iPad. It was weird i that even if you didn't have the US voice enabled for the rotor, the Use compact voice toggle would still appear in settings and would appear to do nothing. For me in Australia I had the default voice set to my own region but never was abled to get the HQ Karen voice. I was confused when I first got my new iPad because it seemed like the use compact toggle did nothing, than when I added the US vice to the rotor I noticed that it was this voice which was the HQ one.
Obviously the nature of the bug meant that those of you in the US would never have noticed this issue. In any case this bug has now been corrected under iOS6. It was with delight that I got the HQ Karen voice on my iPad shortly after updating it.
