This feature would be especially useful if connected to Bluetooth headphones. Not having to run with a phone is a Big feature that should be fully exploited by the versa 3 and Sense

Currently, the only way to get voice cues is to use MobileRun.  This is completely unacceptable.  MobileRun has a bug in it and it no longer tracks heart rate.  Anyone who needs reading glasses cannot read the fine print split times and pace info on the Versa 3/Sense screen when "laps" are enabled.  The Versa 3 and Sense have the hardware.  Please create the software.

Frankly speaking I think this feature request is a lost battle. Since the good old time of Ionic (with its excellent HR sensor) people asked to have voice cues over bluetooth but the suggestion has been closed as NOT PLANNED.

 

Let's also conside that currently the speaker is not even used for some very basic functions like alarms and notifications.

My reading vision is poor so I struggle to read the small text on my sense.  Voice cues would therefore be very helpful. It seems a waste of the integral speaker technology not to have this feature.  Please give us oldies this much needed feature Fitbit

Voice cues on sense with output to bluetooth headphones as alternate to watch speaker is my preference.  Giving pace cues like "Map my run" or "Map my walk" do would be my  ideal,  in order to save carrying cell phone during exercise.
