Types of Bluetooth PTT Accessories (Headsets, Buttons and Speakers)
Bluetooth Headset using Toggle mode
VoicePing supports most modern Bluetooth 4.0 Headsets that has a Call or Multi Function button. On Android 8.0 and above smartphones, users can press on the button once to start a PTT. After they finish talking they can then press again to stop. To prevent accidental PTT, the maximum duration is 15 seconds in toggle mode.

Bluetooth Headset and Bluetooth PTT button
With the above “Bluetooth Headset using toggle mode”, some users might find that their button might not be placed in an accessible location or angle. Thus you can also pair a Bluetooth PTT button like Flic or Seecode SHP at the same time with your commercial bluetooth headset.
In this way, you can place the Bluetooth PTT button within easy reach and hear via the bluetooth headset.
Using the bluetooth button also gives you a real PTT effect where instead of pressing once to start talking and pressing again to stop, you can have Push-To-Talk. This means the message is recorded when you are pressing the button and stopped once you release. This will be more akin to traditional walkie talkies and users can get accustomed to it faster.

Phone/Tablet with and Bluetooth PTT button
You can of course use the Bluetooth PTT button without an accompanying bluetooth headset. The microphone and speaker will rely on the smartphone or tablet. In this case, it will usually be a tablet or mounted device.
Integrated Bluetooth PTT Headset
VoicePing supports Seecode NBT 912. Seecode NBT 912 provides an integrated PTT headset with a PTT button. The advantages of this is that the mic can clip to the front of your shirt and positioned near to the mouth.
The clarity of recording is higher and you can speak discreetly with the microphone near your mouth. The included wired one side headset can also be swapped out to surveillance or clear tube headsets.

Bluetooth Remote Speaker Mic
Similar to the Integrated Bluetooth PTT Headset, the bluetooth RSM has a speaker, microphone and PTT button integrated. However instead of listening via a earbud, the speaker volume is loud and the bluetooth RSM is clipped to your shirt. This mode is useful for outdoor workers and offers a long battery life.
