I can give you a little tip here. Instead of holding the remote 3 inches away from your mouth, (which is a mistake most people make), try holding it at either a 45 or 90º angle to your mouth, about 6 inches distant. I think you’ll find you get even better performance from the remote.

I tried sending and receiving messages today, “Alexa Send A Message” and so on. I like the prompting Alexa gives by voice so all you need to do is follow along and respond appropriately. The microphone of the Amazon Echo I used in my tests is incredibly sensitive, I sat 20 feet away from my Echo device on the other side of the room yet my voice was perfectly clear and the Echo had no problem adjusting the level, obviously there was a little background noise created by the air conditioner, traffic noise coming through the open window etc. So how do I know what my voice sounded like? I sent a message to myself. I then used the Alexa Remote to perform the same task. The microphone on the remote is quite good and obviously I didn’t sound as distant given I held the remote around 3 inches away from my mouth. So if anyone has an Amazon Alexa then perhaps you can try and “Send A Message To Dane Trethowan”, add my contact to Alexa Dane Trethowan +61 400 494 862 ********** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind. ======================================== My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: <gor...@mac-access.net> Accessibility & Information Technology Support Specialist..
