Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. It's just interesting some of the vocabulary
that's repurposed for use in the computer industry, that's all.

Steve,
As a former professional programmer, I would suggest that the word "Coupon" in this
instance, is referring to a Facetime security coupon and / or "Token", depending upon the
state of the argument being passed through to the function.
Again, just a guess.

versions of iOS
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.
