I don't like any of the compact voices, they sound like they are
trapped in a box. Higher quality voices take up more space of course,
but it's worth it, hands down.
Original message:
Thank you for sharing. I absolutely cannot stand the compact British
English voice. Sounds like Daniel with well I don't know, cinucitis
maybe! Lol! But the one compact voice I do like is Irish English. Not
really tried the Australian and U.S. English voices yet in compact mode.

Hi all,
As one who uses the new Nuance Vocalizer Expressive voices to develop with
them for other platforms, I wanna to explain to you all, what are the iOS 7
voices and which of them are being used when.
So, let's start from sirie:
The new and better Sirie voices are not Vocalizer Expressive voices.
These are custom voices that Nuance or some other company makes a specially
for Apple, I think it's Nuance because Apple always works with them on TTS
related stuff.
Now, let's move on to VoiceOver:
In iOS 6, Apple used the Nuance Vocalizer for automotive version 5.5
platform for it's screen reader and Sirie.
Since Nuance stopped supporting and developing Vocalizer for Automotive, and
released Vocalizer Expressive, in iOS 7, Apple has swiched to using these
voices for VoiceOver.
Most of them sound the same as the previous generation of Vocalizer, such as
Samantha Premium for example, they just read longer texts better.
The Vocalizer Expressive platform contains some new and very expressive
voices, but Apple decided to use the ones that wer already available,
because they are still offerd with Vocalizer Expressive, or VE for short.
Some other facts that thanks to them you can know it's the new Expressive
version, are the bad compact voices, a specially Daniel, and the new voices
for some languages such as Arabic, they have replaced Maged with Tarik for
this language because Nuance doesn't offer Maged any more.
Vocalizer Expressive has a Hebrew voice as well, so I hope Apple will add it
soon too:) (Smile).
Hope now you understand it better..
Adi.
