In Telecommunication , a vox or '''voice operated switch''' is a switch that operates when sound over a certain threshold is detected. It is usually used to turn on a transmitter or recorder when someone speaks. It is used instead of a Push-to-talk Button on transmitters or to save storage space on recording devices. The circuitry usually includes a delay that leaves the circuit activated when the sound stops. This keeps the circuit from turning off during short pauses in speech. In Audio Recording and Sound Reinforcement , the term 'vox' may be used as an abbreviation for 'voice', 'vocal track', or 'vocal channel', primarily because it is the Nominative form of "voice" in Latin .
