Hello Phil/. The best test would be a little more than what you suggest.
First off, it should be the same text as you say. Second it should be
demonstrated on an iPhone, iPod Touch, and an iPad. Third, it should be
at rate 40 or 50 for both voices, and then at rate 80 for both.
I could do the iPhone and iPod Touch part, but since I don't have an
iPad, I couldn't do a full comparison.

Hi Raul,
Have you heard a comparison of the High quality and compact iPhone
voices in a mp3 file ore youtube page?
Rather than talk about it, a simple demonstration of the two should be
enough to tell which one sounds best.
Of course, they should be reading the same text.

It has been my experience that the high-quality voices on the iPhone and
iPod are similar to a lot of the SAPI voices on a Windows computer. You
need more CPU and more memory in order to take advantage of these voices
fully. In addition, because they are high-quality voices, they usually
do not sound as good at faster rates. This is just my opinion.

After having tried the hq voice on my IPod 3rd gen and my IPad 1, I
had given up on it. I just got an IPhone 4s and am quite pleased with
how the HQ voice works on it. Response is snappy, not sluggish. It
doesn't cut out or miss syllables or break up in any way as it did on
the other devices to greater or lesser degree, especially the IPod. It
must be dependent on the processor and/or the amount of ram. Not sure
how much ram the 4S has, but I think it is the same as my IPad 1, so
perhaps it is just the processor difference.
