Voice modem command set
open-in-new
<p>A voice modem is an analog <a href="/facts/Telephone/P7uEgWQX">telephone</a> data <a href="/facts/Modem/9H0Xwtq0">modem</a> with a built-in capability of transmitting and receiving voice recordings over the phone line. Voice modems are used for <a href="/facts/Telephony/2GwTTepw">telephony</a> and <a href="/facts/Answering_machine/oEYfC4Gg">answering machine</a> applications. Similar to the <a href="/facts/Hayes_command_set/jqgtsCtH">Hayes command set</a> used for data modems, in which the host PC commands the modem via a series of commands known as <a href="/facts/AT_commands/jqgtsCtH">AT commands</a>, there exists a well-defined set of common voice AT commands that are somewhat consistent throughout the industry. </p>
