From the first generations of the Mi Band to the last, they have been dragging a problem that causes users to find a voice in English that accompanies them in training . This voice is not reduced through the bracelet and it is done through the mobile, since the sports bracelet does not have a speaker.
This annoying voice causes users in Xiaomi forums, as well as in other external ones, to wonder if there is a way to prevent this voice from being reproduced in English that accompanies training when walking, running or riding a bike, but by default not appears in other of the many sports activities that the Mi Band integrates. In turn, it leads us to many other unknowns with the language in the Mi Band around this option.
Why do you speak in English if the bracelet is in Spanish?
The main question that users ask themselves is why the Mi Band activity bracelet speaks in English when we are entertaining, if in the bracelet and app settings we have the Spanish language configured. This would be understandable as long as we were using it in English or the software was part of one of the beta versions, but this is not the reason for most users.
It is only because the Mi Fit app does not allow you to change the language of the training companion and therefore, even if our bracelet is configured in Spanish, French or Italian, this will not affect the voice that the trainer reproduces on the bracelet. activity.
How to deactivate the English voice of the Mi Band
The steps that we must follow to deactivate this voice in English is to access the Mi Fit app and on the home screen touch on the sports activity that we are going to carry out. In the new tab, the GPS will come into operation and a small settings gear will appear that gives us several options.
Here we only have to deactivate the option called “Text to speech” which allows us to deactivate the voice in English that tells us in sports activities the kilometers, the average time per kilometer and other data of interest to know our physical effort without have to look at the bracelet. As you can see, if we wish we can also choose to have the activity paused automatically, keep the screen of the bracelet on or set an alert through the heart rate.
You have to repeat the process in walking, running and cycling
In the Mi Fit app we find an access for these three activated, which works independently. Even if we change the preference so that the Mi Band does not speak during walking sports, the running or cycling section will not be affected. Therefore, we have to repeat the process up to three times.
Can I change the language of this option?
Unfortunately for everyone, it is currently not possible to modify the language of the voice that accompanies us in training with the Mi Band. We will only have the option to deactivate it, because even if we use third-party apps and try to modify it, there is no way to achieve it since the voice is only dedicated to English speech.
In the next versions of the Mi Band we could find new languages that accompany us in sports activities, although nothing is certain.
