Because I am visual disabled, I was wondering If there is an Audio coaching function. I’ve mailed Zwift and they adviced me to put a feauture request. Because I can’t read the information on the screen, Is it possible to put a function for audio coaching?
Maybe some ideas:
Each 5 kilometers/miles an overview about your time and average speed during that 5 kilometres/miles?
Warning when A climb is started and how long the climb well be.
Some information about the track, How long do you have to go
Are there more people interested in this function for audio coaching? Or has someone an working solution.
Hi! Is there a way to get Zwift app to do audio announcements of the cycling stats (power, hr, rpms) and maybe give the heads-up for inclines on request? I know I can see the data on my screen, but I was thinking about visually impaired athletes training for events like triathlons. Training this way on Zwift could make their training more accessible and consistent (because it can be hard to find available guides), not to mention a whole lot more fun! Zwift is super awesome! Ride On, everybody!
Are audio announcements being developed? I ride with a friend that is blind, and if we could get Zwift to do audio announcements like the Wahoo Fitness app… “Over the last mile you average X miles per hour”, etc. we would have a one device solution. It would also be nice to be able to use Siri to open the app with voice commands. For example, Siri open Zwift with Road to the sky, or Siri open Zwift with workout two.
Maybe ut would be nice to have an audio coaching while your riding. So it tells you what you have to do instead of reading the text and it tels you to bike faster when needed just like a real coach.
I am a visually impaired Zwift user, and I am trying to make Zwift workouts more amenable by adding audio messages. I have been on a couple of group workouts where there has been an instruction voice at the start, so I know it is possible.
I am looking at the ‘gameplayevent’ in the ZWO schema. Can the GPE_AUDIO attribute be used to trigger this audio messages? Do you have an example of using audio message in a ZWO file that you might point me towards?
If successful, I hope to post up some visually impaired accessible versions of some of the common workouts such as FTP tests.
Since warm weather has arrived but i’m still in the middle of a 12 week workout program, i’d like to try a Zwift workout while i’m out on the road. Does Zwift have audio prompting that you could play through Companion on your phone? For example, it would tell you to throttle up to X amount of watts for however much time is required, then tell you to throttle back again when done? It would me much easier to do it this way out on the road than to be constantly be glancing down at a phone screen.
Zwift is portable, and runs on my droid phone, hooks to the same sensors on my road bike, so there is nothing to stop me from running the workout while i’m on the road.
You could upload a similar workout to your bike computer, but what would be the point if you did not get credit for doing the workout in Zwift?
It does have some audio cues from the companion app, the ringing bell as you come up to the next workout gate comes through the companion app I’m pretty sure. It doesn’t tell you what zone or target watts you are about to enter into, but it does ring the bell a few times letting you know the next zone is about to start.
The setting is in the companion app under notifications, “In Game Sound Effects”
Hi; I’m a new Zwifter getting into running in my late sixties and following the Zwift 201 Your first 5k program. (Which I’m loving!). I prefer to run without my glasses and find it distracting to focus down on the text instructions on my iPad, to the point where I have stumbled a couple of times. Before I lose my teeth on the bar, I’d love an option for audio guidance. All the IRL C25K programs work on audio, and I was very surprised to find no option for this in settings. I’ll put this as a separate feature request, as it is somewhat different in scope from a full ‘visually impaired’ interface I guess, but it’s certainly in the same area as what you are doing. Thanks!

I prefer to run without my glasses and find it distracting to focus down on the text instructions even on my iPad, and much worse on my phone, to the point where I have stumbled a couple of times.

I’ll put this as a separate feature request, but there seem to be a number of similar requests going right back, which I have also voted on. It seems like a very obvious option to have. Thanks!
