How does the Voice Activation work?

The voice activation works great. The previous units I purchased with no voice activation had a lot of dead space. This unit will pause the recording after about three seconds. (The instructions state three minutes.) You might want to indicate a point of demarcation because the sound between the recordings is very seamless. Overall, it works great, worth every dime. Pros: It picks up every sound in the room. It's compact, therefore easily concealed. The sound quality is great. The recording time is awesome. Listening to the recordings was very easy, no software to install. Customer service via email was fantastic. They were very responsive. They offered to fix the battery packs but I figured it was less of a hassle to buy the alternate power sources. Time was an issue for me. I didn't call for assistance. Cons: The battery packs (both) stopped working to their full capacity after about a dozen uses. It went from full capacity down to about 45 minutes. I had to purchase battery operated power sources with a USB port; another $50 dollars. The display is a little small, but that's to be expected. The instruction booklet is little challenging to follow. But, all in all it works great. If the need ever arises, I would definitely purchase again.

There are two buttons on the device. One button is for volume control on headset and for answering calls, the other button performs three functions: switches between presets that come programmed in the device, it switches between environment modes if you have customized your headset using the free app and if you are connected to your phone and you receive a phone call it will end the call when pressed.

Press the speaker as it is the answer and end call button. Press the speaker twice and it dials the last number called. Press and hold the speaker and it activates voice response if your phone has that capability.

The devise clips on the visor. It will announce the call and give you the option of answer or ignore. You respond verbally and then answer the call . It has a microphone and speaker. Mine works very well. I have had the original one for about 3 years. It finally gave up the ghost I and I bought another just like it. I have never used the voice dial feature a I don't like to be on the phone when driving.

Yes it does. I actually didn't know originally. I had to try that out to find out. I'm glad you asked about that because now I know I can use the remote to activate Siri.

It's not voice recognition. It is a live person who hears only the other side of the conversation, and transcribes it to your phone. They do not hear your end of the call. There is a brief delay and transcription may not be perfect but it is more than good enough to do business or personal calls. Let the person on the other end know the call is being captioned in order to understand why there's a delay in your response.

I first used my AirVoice Sim with the 250 min plan but upgraded shortly thereafter as that plan was unsuitable to my needs. To activate, go to AirVoice's website and follow instructions, it's simple and user friendly.

I believe so. I sent it to my nephew as a gift but I did a little research on it and I believe it can be programmed for voice activation. ...

The unit will work but the voice part is very bad, it has a hard time understanding what you say or ask, I tried 4 units and had the same problem, and took them all back or I sent them back to the stores and back to the place on the internet CO. The Voice activation is very very bad.

You can turn the VOX (voice activated) feature on, and when you talk the radio will transmit. Check your manual for instructions on how to set the VOX feature.

MS Sauer,Like all of these kinds of gear they don't all work and you have to send them back. I am a PI and can tell you that this device has broken a murder case that would have gone uncharged. I have not had any issue with the voice activation part of the system though. The reason I say this is that it took me three pen cameras before I got one that worked! Good customer service in each instance returning the pens. Good luck. I hope this helps. It IS a good system as no one looks twice at a thumb drive in your hand!

Yes. I rarely use voice activation, because there's always a syllable missed as it activates. I don't think I've ever seen a recorder that only worked via voice activation.

There is one button on the mic but it has three different ways to activate it. I tested these on my Motorola Moto X with Spotify playing in the background. 1) Single press: Pauses playback; 2) Double press: Next track; 3) Press and hold: Brings up Voice Control so you wouldn't have to say "Ok, Google Now";

If you use the piggyback connector that comes with it, it will only activate when you lift the receiver. Anything you say and hear will be recorded. However, this type of connection only works if the handset is corded.

No you can't use your voice to make a call. You would need to activate that option on your phone and speak to your phone to make the call.
