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.

Sorry if I’m going over old ground here as I know many of you use Amazon Alexa.
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
