Some reviewers tell it is not voice activated so is it voice activated or not?

NO! It is NOT! Once turned on it records until the battery runs down. You have to listen throught hours od "dead air" to hear anything relevant. And since it is shipped from China, it is not worth returning for a refund! I was extremely disappointed...

You have to push it on and then push it off when finished recording. Not voice activated.

I've only had mine about two weeks, but I have not heard a voice even once. My only annoyance is that it automatically turns itself off at random times and the battery life is only a few minutes.

It will play all night if you set it that way. or the timer turns it off at 15min, 30 min, 60 min. I also like the voice activated feature.

No, I do not know how to turn off the voice. But the voice does not bother me.

There is no feature for voice activation with this product. It's great otherwise but you have to enter manually.

Can you turn off the voice over effect on the microphone or is it always on?

No....the voice prompts are basic pre-recorded prompts..."Headset connected, power is high....what would you like to do....." Confirmations are usually with a ping or a beep. Good reception and sound.

No, it does not have voice calling. If you Bluetooth your phone your entire phone book will be visible.

Yes. It only shows up when you are already speaking on the phone and it is one of the "soft" buttons - i.e. it shows on the display and you press the bar underneath it to mute or unmute. I hope this helps.

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.

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.

It is represented as working with digital signals only. I never tried it with voice signals. (Also it seldom worked with digital signals, either.)

It is not voice activated. There is a button you press to activate the channel, once it's activated, you can talk on it like a telephone. If you have your device paired with an MP3/phone pressing the button will switch between that and the chat channel.

I do nit think it can. I never tried to answer via voice activation. It can place a voice activated call. Read through the link I've provided for their Q1 device (since that is the image conn to your question) to see if they report anything different.http://blueant.force.com/knowledgebase/knowledgeHome

It does have an option to speak the numbers as pressed. The battery status is shown on the home screen plus one of the keys flashes red when it's charging and solid red when charged. I'm not sure what you mean by a "sent" alert. There's a visible text and voicemail alert when they're received. I don't know about hearing aid compatibility.

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!
