I am trying VoxATC to see if it is worth buying. From what I have heard it is, however I have some doubts.

 

My impression is that VoxATC doesn't really "recognize" what you say, but "more or less" crosschecks what you say with what you are supposed to say and after a number of repetitions accepts whatever you say. While I can understand the reasoning behind this, it leads me me to a problem when I make some mistakes, because I am not sure what went wrong.

 

Is there any flexibility on what you can say (options a part) or do you have to say exactly what written in the panel? I am asking because I have read the manual and there are differences with the suggested words in the Vox panel. Sometimes I get answers or suggested words that are different from what I thought according to the manual and I do not know how to proceed or where I am in the process (since I am not sure he accepted or understood what I said).

 

 

Thanks

 

 

To give you an example:

 

In the manual it says:

"International Clearance cessna one one five one delta will depart north for Eppley at five thousand"

 

But in the VoxATC panel I read:

"International Clearance cessna one one five one delta will depart north VFR for Eppley at five thousand"

 

Small difference but still the difference between ATC aknowledging and not aknowledging. If I read the manual but everything is different, what use in reading?

 

Thoeretically I could simply read the Vox panel but I would like to learn to comunicate without having the panel on screen.
