Is this device really voice activated?

Nope but I use it in college and it is very clear . It will pick up a whisper from across the room.

It has an optional mode called Variable Control Voice Actuator, which will automatically start and stop recording when it detects sounds above a level that you can select. When you turn on the mode, VCVA shows up on the display.If you don't want to use this mode, leave it off and just start and stop the recording manually.

How long can it be left on in voice activation mode? Can it be set and left alone for say a week?

Certainly is, go to the menu button, and scroll through the features, you'll find it. It works great, filters unnecessary space, also activate the noise cancelling feature.

No, it doesn't work as a multi-function button, nor does it activate Siri or S-Voice (on Android). This is a major bummer about this otherwise nice device. If that is what you need your Bluetooth device to do, look at the Noisehush, or even most cheaper, lesser known brands - usually they do work in that manner. I have tested it on several devices. Although others state they can successfully accomplish it, it hasn't worked for me. I am an electronics engineer - so perhaps mine is defective? That's just my experience. Battery life is quite decent the limited times I have used it (because of the non-activating button). Sound quality is also good.

The voice activation can only be used to answer a call. It cannot be used to initiate a call. You would have to use it in monitor mode which drains the battery rapidly. Also, if you parent tends to make sounds it can be a bit disturbing to be continuously listening to them.

I have been able to using the voice commands. There is a bit of a lag from the time you press and hold the button to when you actually hear 'Say a command'. I used it paired with a Motorola Razr Maxx.

No, it does not. It might say you have voice messages, but there's no setup to check them.

Yes, Yes, Yes. TO activate Siri or other voice control is simple, hold left and press right at the same time. You NEVER have to take your phone out, read texts, dial numbers, play voice mail, CHECK THE TIME, whatever.

My Garmin 3450 does not have voice activation! It is advertised as having "voice prompt" which is the GPS telling you when to turm, etc. I am not aware of it being able to recognize voice command.

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

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 are referring to the voice commands on your phone, then, yes. Works just like your phone's microphone. If you are referring to some sort of voice command to the device itself, then I do not know. Have not attempted any.

NO , infact it is NOT at all sound activated (item description they give is false on that part) , it runs its own cycle of auto programs only , still cool and worth the $ , very unique item ,

If plugged in I expect so. It rings very loudly. However by default you will be in speakerphone mode when you answer

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. ...

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

As far as I know, it doesn't have a voice command feature. One must touch the phone button on it, then speak into the microphone.
