Microphone for search

[Jmoreno63]

I work at a school district and my job includes working with students with special needs. My current student, has trouble with his fine motor skills and can't really type out artists names in the search bar. He explained to me that it would help him immensely if he could just use a microphone feature to say artist names outloud and have the names be transcribed. A microphone feature would be great to make the app more accessible to people with disabilities.

Hey there @Jmoreno63,

Thanks for posting in the Community and welcome. 

We hope you don't mind us moving your post out of the ideas section to one of our Help boards as it fits better here.

Accessibility has always been a top priority here at Spotify and we're always looking for ways to improve. That being said, we appreciate you taking the time to reach out and share your thoughts on this with us and we've made the right team aware of this issue. However, we can't commit to a specific timeline of when or if it will be implemented.

We appreciate your feedback. We know you’d like to make this as an opportunity for Spotify to become an incredible app. 

We hope you found this helpful. Let us know if you need anything else.
