Viva voce is a Latin phrase literally meaning "with living voice," but most often translated as "by word of mouth."
It may also refer to:
- Italian for "live voice."
- Voice vote in a deliberative assembly
- An oral examination, especially in reference to a thesis defense in academia (a common requirement for dissertations and theses in graduate education)
- Spoken evidence in law
- In translation terminology it describes a method employed for the translation of Arab libraries left in Spain after the Arab occupation was ended. One translator would be orally translating a text directly while reading it, while another translator would be putting down in writing that translation. This system proved to be time saving and resulted in faster translations being produced.
- Viva Voce (band)
- "VivaLaVoce, The Station That Sings", spelled as a single word but with upper and lower case letters, is an opera based digital subchannel and internet stream from WETA (FM), Washington, D.C.
