I have just moved over to TrainerRoad from TrainingPeaks. I am finding the structured workouts REALLY helpful. A big additional advantage is the narrative that runs through them. Feels like I have a real coach in my shed with me. One problem I find is that sometimes I miss the start of the narrati…

multi language would kill this. aren’t there accessibility native functions that could be leveraged? can TR ensure their text is accessible to these features?

This should work decently well for multiple languages right now! If you change language in the app settings, e.g. Spanish, then set VoiceOver to speak in Spanish in iOS settings, it should read anything that we have translated.

I don’t mean to sidetrack this thread, but I would be satisfied if I could press a key (in Windows) to back up the text a little, in order to re-play something that I missed.

Great suggestion! That maaaay get tricky with where the rest of the text would ‘catch up’ along with the queues to start the next interval. without rewinding the workout. Will keep this in mind and pass this along to the team!

Buried in some other discussion, I made a suggestion of having the option to show instruction as more of a text message, with the active comment at the bottom, and the prior text visible above. Something as minimal as 1 active line and 2 prior (3 total lines visible all the time) would be an improv…

Found the mention from years ago. [image] Regarding guided workouts TrainerRoad Software I suggested that they make the prior text into a string, like a chat window. You could see several lines at least and then scroll as needed to older text. Been a few years, so I may …

I would sure like to have that as an option. I’ve taken to running TR on my phone while Zwift is on my screen to reduce issues with signals dropping, etc. The text on the phone is small and out of my line-of-sight so I really don’t pay attention to it now.

I, like many others, sometimes miss the instructions as they come up on the screen especially during more intense segments. Why not have a setting for verbal instruction so that we can hear the instructions instead of having to read them? This is what a human coach would be doing instead of writing …
