Exercise Tracking Cues - include spoken current heart rate as an option

A great feature to have which would increase and assist my running is the option to select spoken current heart rate as an exercise cue (for fitbit devices with pure pulse). 

 

I would also like to see a feature for spoken encouragement when ones pace / heart rate drops. This would be amazing 

 

For example, voice cues could include:

* Encouragement option - keep up the effort when fatigue is detected

* Heart rate

* Distance

* Time

* Weakly/ monthly Average Pace

* Split Pace (since last cue)

* Calories burned

 

Thanks 🙂

It would be great to have current heart rate as an exercise voice cue. I realize that there are very, very old posts about this from circa 2016, but I want to refresh this request to see where things lay.

Thanks.

First Steps
Provide ability to HEAR my heart rate readout hands-free and be verbally warned of nearing a threshold. Provide the ability for users to activate auditory (spoken) readouts of heart rate and other vitals at selectable intervals from 5 to 60 seconds, and acivate auditory readouts at user-selectable thresholds for heart rate and other vitals.
