So what are the voice alerts, line by line?

Are you asking about BIT test of AN APR-39?

It's an awful recording - but I believe it's a replica of how bad the real life recording is. (If recording is the correct terminology to use).

Not sure why it's that bad. My guess is that it uses an old microchip that didn't actually have full recording capabilities, and it was the best it could do with the resources available for that era to emulate a human voice with those phrases. The only other guess I have is whether it's intentional so that it stands out from other chatter so the crew pays attention. 

Either way, after you've heard and know what the phrases are IRL, I would expect you'd get to know and understand it, the same as ATC can understand some of the speed-phrases some pilots like to ramble quickly even in a unfamiliar accent.  Using the cheetsheet @LorenLuke posted above should have you being able to recognise the phrases pretty quickly, and then it'll just be a matter of muscle memory (or ear memory if that's a thing 😉 )

As a kid we had a voice module for our Apple 2E, it sounded even worse than the APR-39, and it was considered state of the art back then.  I have no doubt it's probably even harder to understand in real life.

It's not a recording.  It's using a very bad speaker and math to try and generate something that sounds like a human voice to say words.  A very compact and low fidelity synthesizer.

Ever listened to some Techno in the early 90s ?

 

I knew that voice reminded me of something...
