Hello,
There is already a post on accessibility features for blind people at https://forums.zwift.com/t/accessibility-for-blind-cyclists/514123. That thread requests accessibility features without saying what features are required.
This thread lists feature requests that would improve the user experience for Zwift athletes with low vision, , and visual impairment. Such features are likely also to improve the UX for everyone.
The quick-fix changes improve the readability of the existing user interface (I).
- Change text to improve contrast.
- Distance/Time to finish - a darker text colour would be easier to read.
- Workout interval list - darker text colours would be easier to read.
- Ride leader flag at bottom of screen - back text would be easier to read than white against the yellow marker.
- Rider list - text colour contrasting with background colour would be easier to read.
For those of us with lower levels of vision, the addition of some text-to0speech (TTS) would be amazing.
- TTS for workout instruction, and encouragement comments.
- TTS on rider messages
Hotkeys to announce:
- Ride stats: speed, distance, time
- Rider stats: heartrate, power
These are just the features that I have thought of, but there may be others that other visually impaired users may need to improve their rider experience.

When doing workouts, the progress bar is yellow, at least on my HUD, but the time remaining is always in white font. Elsewhere in the interface, black is used to increase readability. Is it possible to add a font colour change as the workout bar moves, changing the while font (fine on initial background) to black as the yellow bar reaches the “time left"? It is almost impossible for me to read on an iPad.
There are similar suggestions in this topic. Zero progress though.
