Elsewhere in the Factory's fourms, jfossy posted that there's a new Garmin nuvi 'Jill,' version 3.20, which offers 'Improved road name pronunciations.' In searching, I think that Karen, Samantha and probably Jack were also updated at about the same time with the same improvement.
I can never keep my voice versions straight so I now have a Post-It note with my English-language TTS findings. Here's what I found. Since Jack is the name used for both the high and low quality voice files, I have both listed--they are NOT interchangeable--WebUpdater or Garmin Express will offer you the one you can use. If you find updates or corrections to my list, please advise.

Please note that the nuvi model you have will dictate the TTS voices you can use--if your nuvi uses the low-quality voice engine, you need the small files and if your nuvi uses the high-quality voice engine, it uses the large files and the newest nuvis now use the TTS3 files.

I also was pleasantly surprised to see that my nuvi 2460 shows the voice version being used in the Tools/Settings/System/About page. I think that most older nuvis (e.g., my 750 and 855) require delving into hidden developer screens to find voice versions. But my yellow Post-It is really all I need now if I keep it updated.
These voice change logs can be hard to find. I find the best way is to do an internet search for (minus the quotes) 'garmin voice version karen' and substituting the name desired in place of Karen when doing the search--or for the newest nuvis, search for (minus the quotes) 'garmin voice version serena tts3' for current updates with similar substitutions of your desired name in place of Serena. In general for now, look for internet search hits that are something like:

(for the hi-quality voices)

(for the low-quality voices--note the (v) after the (TTS))
Voice, Australian English-Karen (TTS)(v) software version
(for the TTS3 voices)
Voice, British-English, Serena (TTS3) software version
[Update 6/24/13] Thanks to MikeG1 and joegambino for quickly finding newer voice updates. Also noted is that there are now appearing some Garmin voices that are TTS3 which may for the new nuvi xxx7 series (or maybe just the nuvi 3597) devices that use new Real Voice files. I also have seen some Garmin TTS2 files but haven't found which devices use(d) them.
[Update 6/26/13] Thanks to charlesd45 for confirming that another of the xxx7 series beyond the 3597 uses Real Voice files and for further confusing me with the new nuvi 2597 model and probably many other of the new 2013 nuvi xxx7 models: I'm not quite sure where to place this so I'll offer it here for now. The new nuvi 2597, in addition to using the new large Real Voice files like TTS3 Samantha, also offers smaller voice files and yet another name: American English Michelle 2.00. And thanks for pointing out the GMapTool site.

Revised TTS3 voices
As a publicity stunt, things don't get much cooler than having a big-name actor give an in-character performance in your car. That's what happening with Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is lending his voice to the mobile crowd-sourced traffic and navigation app Waze to promote the new Terminator movie.
But the former governor of California is far from the first big celeb or major fictional character to get into the directions-giving game. In fact, he's not even the first one to do it for Waze—that was comedian Kevin Hart, who provided turn-by-turn commentary for the app in 2013 (to pimp his flick with Ice Cube, Ride Along.)
Using celebrity/character voices in navigation systems goes back almost a decade, and features some of the biggest names in the world. Check out the slideshow for our collection of the greatest and geekiest. Most are still available for purchase (or free), particularly if you have a compatible Garmin or TomTom navigation system (check compatibility before you buy). How this hasn't become a thing for Google and Apple Maps on phones yet, I don't know. Maybe Drake can record one for Apple soon.
1Darth Vader and Yoda
No two characters better represent the dreaded Sith and the heroic Jedi than these two. Recorded for TomTom in 2010, they're still available there (both for $12.95), and for Garmin ($9.95 each). Also available: C3PO and Han Solo! (I want to believe that's really Harrison Ford.)2The Simpsons
Homer and Marge and Mr. Burns are all available as separate voices on Garmin ($10.99 each) or TomTom ($12.95 each) so that when you miss a destination, you get that highly appropriate 'D'OH!'3Mr. T
We seriously pity the fool who doesn't have this excellent voice on their GPS. He's available for $12.95 on TomTom's PLUS Services4Looney Tunes
Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam.. legends all. And all legends you can have tell you were to go on a TomTom for $12.95 each. Little bits of the classic Looney Tunes themes makes it all the sweeter to get to Albuquerque, Doc.5K.I.T.T.
You might think of actor William Daniels as the guy from Boy Meets World. But for years, he was also a TV doctor, and before that, he was a car. Specifically, the sarcastic voice to the talking vehicle on Knight Rider. Now, he can sarcastically tell you what exit to take (if you've got a TomTom and $12.95).6Wallace & Gromit
The greatest Claymation stars of all time (if you don't believe me, go watch The Wrong Trousers) lend their voices to GPS. Well, Wallace does, as Gromit's not much of a talker. They're a bargain on Garmin for $8.99, but still $12.95 at TomTom.7GlaDOS
It's not official, but there's a voice out there perfectly mimicking that of GlaDOS, the homicidal AI from the Portal video games. Luckily, this GPS voice, created by a user on Reddit, apparently doesn't make you drive off a bridge like the real one. This is a free download for Garmin and TomTom units.. if you can find a working link. Oh, I found one, but it'll cost you $9.97.8Arnold—The Govenator
Arnold's already on your GPS? Sort of. There's a huge collection of NSFW, non-politically correct, celeb and character parody voices for GPS to be found at Pig Tones. Arnold is just one of them. Typical voices include Pagoda (a Yoda pastiche), Capt. Jack, a filthy-mouthed drill sergeant, Beavis & Butthead, Sean Connery, Gollum, Obama, Dubya, and yes, GlaDOS. Also: Jesus with appropriately heavenly echo. Every voice they have is $9.97 for TomTom or Garmin units.
