Hello [@everyone](https://forum.rabbitcommunity.tech/groups/everyone), Hello @Rabbit, Since other 2 blind people, a part from me, are using their R1, they’ve purchased it impressed by my reviews on [https://kngworld.it/](https://kngworld.it/), They have asked me: wouldn’t it be possible if R1 has a little sound when I long press the button for asking something? Just to be sure R1 is listening to us. For me it’s not a problem, even if I can’t see the rabbit’s hears spin up, I know my device and can perfectly use it, but for them is quitely concerning to not having a proper sound feedback when R1 is listening at their request. Now I am requesting the same to you: wouldn’t it be possible to implement such features? Waiting for a reply. ---

Hey @KarimGouda04 - I know we’ve chatted about accessibility features in the past. FYI - we are actively working on this, and I expect to see it land in the coming weeks. ---

In general, the underlying problem might be that when pressing the button, rabbit is not reliably always listening. Especially, I noticed it after coming back from sleep. It first connects to network, and then I cannot simply keep the button pressed, but need to release, and then press again for it to finally listen. ---

That’s a really great news and thanks for letting me know! ---

Very happy too to hear the good news from MattDomko 😄 , I add the sound when R1 is ready to listen in the list of sugestions in [Accessibility options for r1](https://forum.rabbitcommunity.tech/t/accessibility-options-for-r1/2061) ---

Simply press the button quickly 5 times before making any request, and this problem will never be as annoying as it has been until now. This tip seems to be a workaround for this problem for me… By pressing the button 5 times in rapid succession before making a request, users can apparently avoid a recurring problem that has been causing frustration. This simple action appears to be an effective solution to enhance the user experience and reduce annoyance when interacting with the system. I hope this can help. P.S.: @KarimGouda04 I am Italian as you and sometimes I watch your videos on Youtube, keep it up, you’re awesome!!! Very great work! ---

Lol, that would be even more annoying. For me, trying to press the button 5 times is only an option when things really go wrong. Not when just waking the device up from sleep. ---

No problem… “_In this world, there are 10 types of people. Those who press the PTT button 5 times, and those who prefer not to…_” However, it’s only necessary the first time after a long period, not for every request. I expressed myself poorly. I meant to say for each initial request, there will be far fewer errors and failed procedures. Try it to believe it! ---

My annoyance is only that I can’t hold PTT to wake up the device and make it listen. Instead, I have to click once to wake up, then release, and then press and hold another time to bring the ears up for listening.
