Ha, an interesting take. I've been a programmer for a long, long, very
long time, but I've never heard of any programming object called a
coupon. I thinhk that's quite funny! I've heard of lexical tokens,
syntax trees, parsing algorithms, fuzzy logic, datapoint fragmentation,
forking, relational pyramids, reciphering, lots of other interesting
linguistic oddments, but coupons? Sure would like to find out what
that's really all about.

Hello Everyone,
In a previous thread, someone mentioned that she / he sometimes hears
VoiceOver say the word, "Coupon" when performing various task, via
VoiceOver, in the latest versions of the OS.
It did not occur to me until yesterday but, I too, have encountered this
word being spoken on my 14 with iOS 16.2.
Now keep in mind that in no way am I speaking on behalf of Apple; in short,
this is just my opinion. Said opinion, being the following:
The word "coupon" has no practical user meaning for anyone using the OS.
This announcement is happening because somewhere in the programming
language, a display handler is mistakenly being announced by VoiceOver.
Now that I think about it, I encountered this announcement very early on but
immediately dismissed it because I could tell that it was randomly announced
during various screen display transitions.
It is just a VoiceOver programming glitch in so far as the developers
inadvertently failed to suppress VoiceOver from announcing this particular
behind-the-scenes function.
So, not to worry, this has happened in the past and will, from time-to-time
happen in the future.
Again, this is just my opinion, nothing more.
