is it voice activated?

Yes it is, but I have not tested mine to see if that feature actually works.

If it is, I never tried it. It broke before I had time to experiment. If you're asking this question, it sounds like you're considering buying this piece of junk. Don't bother. The other reviews are absolutely right. It's worthless. EA

Not traditional voice calls. This is not a phone. It runs skype so you could use it with skype to make calls.

yeah, it's voice activated, but the sound quality is pretty bad, I only used it once.

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.

Yes, it does have voice command dialing. In fact, if you look at the picture of the buttons on the phone, the second one down on the left has a face with voice vibrations coming out of its mouth. This is a dedicated button to activate the voice dialing or other commands. You can also activate it from Bluetooth headsets.

Yes, in vox mode and with the proper headset attached to the radio. The radio will transmit when it detects your voice. And switches to receive when you stop talking.

I'm not sure about that, it is voice activated but I don't think it records.

Byron,This model does not have the voice activated feature. There are other Sony recorders that do. If interested in those models, feel free to message me and will try and help you. Have a super day!

Yes. When you hit send it gives you the option to turn the speaker on. It also has volume control.

Yes the unit is Voice-Activated-System - Recording starts when the sound starts and stops when sound stops.

If you select another unit and call it, it becomes voice-activated so that the callee can answer from across the room. This mes and the system reverts to the default (not voice activated) in a minute or so.

Hi Byron, It doesn't have a voice activated feature. It needs to be manually operated. - Jerome

No, it functions only as a standalone speaker. My phone has voice command so I use that instead.

It does. To activate it You have to change the input by pressing one of the buttons. You'll see a mic option

No. The phone does not respond to voice commands. One must use the keypad to access the menu or dial the phone.

You can make calls by pressing the phone button. But you need to scroll to find the contact and select them. I don't believe that it's voice activated. If you have an iphone then you can press and hold the volume button and make a call by using Siri.

Nope! Just plug and play (well...sing, speak, etc.). This is a great item - easily transportable and dependable. I use it all the time.
