Oh, good. I actually prefer Karen over Samantha in compact mode, but only in iOS 7. In iOS 8, I prefer the compact version of Samantha over Karen. To my ears, at least, Karen sounds different between iOS 7 and 8. In iOS eight, Karen seems to have taken over some qualities of her noncompact

Something is seriously wrong with the Samantha voice. Sounds like she had a very bad operation and it didn't go well. OS9 was not kind to her. Samantha sounds like she has an extreme case of laryngitis. She absolutely sounds awful! I guess we will have to learn to live with Siri, because living

Currently I am running Siri female the larger on my phone, not sure if it uses Kindle or not but was reading my Bible from Kindle very well. I was also reading an iBook yesterday and with the rate at 55 to 60 I actually could hear it better than Alex, even though I think I still prefer Alex.
