Acicessibility hearing and vision

While many games - e.g. Peppa Pig (at least for the captions) do a decent job of this. It would be nice to have captions/subtitles for all audio and an voice that reads written information.
E.g. Nex Gym You can't hear the directions for what's expected in the workout, Elmo says is completely inaccessible for the deaf or hard of hearing - especially if parents are wanting to it play with their kids or to make it more accessible for their kids.
I know I put this in the Facebook group but now that I realize there's a forum I decided to add it here as well.

Captions needed

How about adding captions for all games so deaf and hard of hearing players know what is being said.
Caption instructions when instructions are being given for the exercises in the fitness games & challenges.
Maybe an option to enable or turn off captions
Fun fact - captions improve childrenâs reading skills

Voice over for all game directions or stories
Belle Liu
Posting on behalf of Jennifer L:
All games directions or stories should have a voice over as she (4 y.o.) cannot read all of it herself.

Need to add a setting to turn on screen reading for kids that cannot read yet. Kids 3, 5, and 7 can easily play the games but cannot navigate screens that require reading nor learn instructions that require reading.

Audio Description/Verbal Instructions

My daughter is visually impaired, it would benefit her to have the 'You're standing too close' or other print instructions for games in audio form rather than print form. This could be added into an accessibility setting, so users could decide if that is something their family needs.

It is disappointing to see that nothing has been done about ensuring accessibility for everyone esp by adding captions for deaf and hard of hearing players. Having captions available would make a huge difference for both hearing, deaf and hard of hearing players.

Anita F totally agree, It also helps people who are learning English or for English Learners, beneficial for kids developing literacy skills, etc... not to mention it's illegal requirement under the Ada

And captions in games! When the characters are saying something - not only have it written but spoken also!

I agree whole heartedly!!! Instructions for each expected movement in each individual game would be wonderful.
Having those instructions verbally makes it better for younger and older(like me at 64 yrs).

Yes! An option to turn on voice prompts for when the younger kids are playing would be great so they know what to do to start tracking

An option to turn on screen reading (a lot like how the work out tells you to show down if you are going to fast, it to say move closer or whatever the command/instructions are) would be amazing having a 3 and 5 year old that love to play but canât do it on their own is very frustrating for all. Also a pause, skip into, option would be great.

Not only screen reading and pausing options, but also fast forward or skip options for instructions. Waiting for the machine to decide when I've finished reading is frustrating.
