Roku does not have a voice active remote, they have remote with voice search key, you have to press and speak to enable it.
And not all Roku players come with the voice remote. My Premiere only came with an IR remote, which doesn't have voice capability. Every Roku other than the Sticks support an IR remote, so even if you buy one with a voice remote, you can buy an IR remote, take the batteries out of the voice remote, and have no concerns.

The voice button on my remote is continually speaking with I do anything on the home screen. How do I get it to shut up!!! Thank you

I'm guessing it has nothing to do with the voice button and you've activated the Audio Guide. Press * on your remote four times or look for the Accessibility setting to disable it.

I don't find these answers satisfactory. The man asked a question and it wasn't answered by anyone. Where are the experts chiming in to answer? Or is this one of those, we aren't going to answer it because the party line is to ignore these types of questions?
Where's a Roku rep when you need one?
I would like to see an answer to this question. I have the same concerns. Privacy is a critical issue these days. People give away their information without thinking about it and yet someone dares to ask and is ignored or given short shrift. That's not helpful to anyone. You 'experts' are falling down on your job and by job, I include whether you get paid or not. If you volunteer to do something, you still have a duty to do it right.

I cannot get the voice remote to shut off. The continuous talking is irritating. Help
