 | | In phonetics, voice onset time, commonly abbreviated VOT, is the length of time that passes between when a consonant is released and when voicing, the vibration of the vocal cords, begins. |
 | | The length of the VOT in such cases is a practical measure of aspiration: The longer the VOT, the stronger the aspiration. |
 | | Voiced plosives have a voice onset time noticeably less than zero, a negative VOT, meaning the vocal cords start vibrating before the stop is released. |
