Hi all, I was able to use the Seeing AI app to read the code on my new FitBit device to set it up. Pretty cool to be able to do it without assistance. Take care, Lois Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 20, 2020, at 2:30 PM, Esther wrote: > > Hi, Everyone, > > i have the Charge 4 Fitbit and

Hi, Everyone, i have the Charge 4 Fitbit and really like it. However, I was able to pair the device with my phone, but when I wanted to finish the setup, it wanted me to put in a 4-digit code that was on the device itself. I had to resort to sighted assistance for that. Also, when a new

Hi, When I was using a Fitbit that no longer is made, I was able to use the app most of the time. But as far as I know from talking with friends, even though the app is accessible, the watch or whatever device the person is wearing is not accessible. The Apple Watch, is fully accessible, not

Hello Paul and everyone. I have a Fitbit, and the Fitbit app itself is pretty accessible, particularly if all the person wants to do is track walking steps and such. Most fit bits are pretty easy to pair with the app… That is about the extent of what I know on this topic. Hoping others can chime

Thanks, Peggy. Thatseems to be what everyone is sayibg. But I found a prize for the auction at our convention. QVC had an echo for $69 with the built-in speaker. Auctioning these things off is easier than making a basket and blind peole will use them. Mary Jo Partyka choir...@gmail.com

I had the Charge HR. Although the HR isn't accessible in and of itself, you can get information off of it and control it from the corresponding FitBit app on your smart phone. You can use it to set alarms on your Charge HR and get information off of the HR, such as how many steps you took and

Hello, I am looking for a fitbit to auctionoff at our NFB state convention in November. I have the Fitbit Flex and find it only moderately accessible. Is there a model which is more accessible for blind people? Do you have any idea about prices for such items? Thank you. Mary Jo
