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.
