voice transmission

Sending speech remotely

Voice transmission is the sending of human speech from one location to another, typically through electronic or radio signals.

The term appears in technical and regulatory contexts—broadcasting, telecommunications, amateur radio—to distinguish speech from data, text, or other signal types: The pilot switched to voice transmission when the text system failed.
