How do you set them in the rotor so you can just ask for them? When I went to 
language rotor it was the compact voice and not the high quality voice  step by 
step how to please and thanks.

I just read the last 2 messages in this thread, so pardon me if I
cover something already mentioned. If people like karen so much, why
not just add her to the Language Rodar in VO settings, and then switch
to her whenever you like? Why go through the bother of changing the
international settings and having to download the HQ version of karen,
and then perhaps having to get the HQ version of the US voice again? I
suppose to each their own, but it seems easier to me to add Karen to
the language rodar and then I can have a choice of when I want to use
her. Before iOS 5, I used karen for my main voice in VO. Since iOS 5
though, the US voice has gotten a lot better, IMO. Karen is still an
option on my language rodar settings, should I want her at any point,
but I'm back to the good old US of A voice. Incidentally, I also like
the Irish English voice, and she also holds a place on my language
rodar, grin.

Wayne
