Do i need to use Voice chat to use spirit box?

Yea, it responds to certain words.

Sometimes they say random things, but they may not.

ah oke thanks, I tried without using local chat and nothing, tried again with local chat and it worked, was just wondering because i have a speach condition and didn't know if it wasn't working due to me using it wrong or because of my speech. but thanks for clarifying that i do need to use local VC

Its certain questions not words. As there's four different categorizes "Difficulty" "Location" "Age" and "Personal"
A difficulty question would be like "Are you angry" "Do you want us to leave"
A location question would be like "What is your location" "Is anybody with us"
A age question would be like "How old are you" "When were you born"
A personal question would be like "Are you a male or female" "Who is this"
You have to say these exact words otherwise it might not respond if the ghost uses the spirit box.

If the game detects no input from a microphone, then the Spirit Box will randomly respond when close to the ghost (if it's the kind of ghost that does respond). If you are using a microphone to try to talk to it, you can check to see if the Box is picking up your voice correctly by monitoring what it says on the Spirit Box. If it says 'Nothing Detected' then the ghost heard you, and you asked a question correctly, the ghost is just unable to respond (because it's too far away, it's the wrong type of ghost to respond, or it's shy)

Pretty sure the spirit box was changed so that you need to be speaking into it for there to be a response.

I asked where it was using Local VC and said here, and did the same without using local VC and nothing happened, so i assume you needed to use the in game VC

Indeed, the Spirit Box only responds to proper questions; however if you don't have a mic (or have it muted) the Spirit Box does randomly spew out responses if it's near the ghost. If the game detects input from your mic it reverts back to question response only.

To quote from the Change Log Update #3:

* If your voice recognition is working you can no longer get a response on the Spirit Box just by talking, it will now only answer if you asked a question.
*snip*
* If your voice recognition stops working the Spirit Box will default to giving a random response by talking.

ye, you HAVE to make noise in local chat to get a response. if you have voice recognition, you also have to ask actual proper questions. but if you don't, random noise works fine.
