Under Settings>History then click an interaction

I did not know that you could replay your recording. I clicked the play button.
I remember being able to click Yes/No for clarity.
And is the 'Delete voice recordings' new?

Listening to my recordings allowed me to adjust the placement for less room echo.

That's brilliant!

I just spent about 15 minutes moving my Echo around the kitchen, stopping at different locations to say "Alexa, here's in the middle of the kitchen table", "Alexa, here's near the kitchen window", etc.

After that I played back each recording and pinpointed the best place for voice reception, which also happened to be the best position for sound reproduction. There were a couple of locations where the playback was so poor, I was amazed Alexa was still able to transcribe what I said.

Double Wow! Thanks for posting your method. I too was amazed that Alexa could understand when there was a lot of background noise.

I had fun with the instructions to keep it 8" away from the wall in Costello Meets Echo: http://www.echotalk.org/index.php/topic,94.msg451.html#msg451
