Voice guidance in Polar Flow app

Voice guidance is a feature that helps you get relevant training data straight to your headphones while training. It removes the need to look at the watch during the workout. You may be wearing layers of clothing that cover your watch, your hands may be occupied, or the conditions may be so that it's hard to see what's on the screen. Many of us already work out listening to music anyway, so we are already wearing headphones.

This feature provides in audio format the information that the watch already records. It's not just feedback, but rather it aims at helping you focus on your training and reach your goals, and this is why we call it voice guidance.

The information you get in audio format includes lap details, changes in heart rate, and guidance during training phases. What language is used depends on the phone's language.

The data comes from the watch to your phone, which then utilizes a text-to-speech generator to send the audio signal to your headphones.

Voice guidance gives stats and guidance during your training when your phone is in range of your Polar device.
