When I use Runkeeper, the voice warns me every kilometer or minute(depends on what I set) , about the kilometers runned, average pace and duration of the run. Is it possible to have the voice in the Fitbit app too?

Hi there @Crobeccada, no in this case, the voice cues comes from the integration of the GPS on your phone working along with the Fitbit app, making possible the voice cues.

 

With the GPS connected from the Blaze,  is your tracker working with the GPS of your phone without the need of the app, so the voice cues wont be available due to the Blaze has not the capability to provide audible information.

 

There is an idea on our Feature Suggestion board that is similar to your request called: Run audio cues on Blaze, perhaps you are interested in share your vote along with your comments to make more popular this idea. Is not an immediate solution but our product team looks forward to reading and incorporating your suggestions into future versions of Fitbit trackers and apps.

 

See you around and thank you for your comments.

Hi there @Crobeccada, good to see you again and at the moment is not possible to integrate this type of feature like voice cues from other apps, but as you may know the Fitbit app has its own voice cues when you are using the MobileRun feature. 

 

You can find this option when you access to Track Exercise option either on iOS or Android.

Just make sure you have your GPS and the option of Voice Cues active.

 

Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions.
