Mindfulness close caption for deaf users

[Nicol98]

Hi! So I am Deaf myself and saw that mindfulness option for the Fitbit charge 3. I was wondering if it could provide transcripts or closed captioning because it only offers in audio. Please let me know. Thank you!

@Nicol98 Thanks for joining us! 

Thank you for your inquiry. Currently this isn't available but you can share your idea in our Feature Suggestions board. Search for the idea first to see if one already exists so you can add your vote. The more votes an idea gets the more likely the developers will try to implement it. 

Let me know how it goes.

Will try? 
They should have captions as standard.

I have added a suggestion that they put subtitles on all the video content as well.

I am commenting here and upvoting this thread in the hope this gets added asap. I can't emphasize how important stress release is right now especially with the election happening in a couple of days in the USA. Please always consider accessibility from the start and not at the end. This needs to be a requirement to add as part of the law, ADA, and it is not something that goes to an idea board as one of the options for Fitbit to maybe add later. The worst part about this is that this shouldn't require much time at all for your large team to add a feature like this in. Please, make this a priority. Thank you.

I totally agree. I work in app development. Accessibility should be just part of development not an after thought that might make it to a feature if enough users complain about it.

@TKTpear Thanks for stopping by! 

Thank you for sharing the suggestion to a broader audience as this do help increase the amount of votes the idea gets. Hopefully this will make it more relevant so our developers may work on it.

I'll be around.
