I have the Fitbit inspire, and the Fitbit itself isn’t accessible in the sense that I cannot see what is on the screen. But the Fitbit app is completely accessible, which is all that really matters to us who are blind. It also even shows the battery level of the Fitbit. The only time I needed someone who could see it was to read me the four digit code when I first set it up. But if someone else has said you could use some thing like seeing ai to see if it could read it. Dacia
