Roku Voice just started informing me of everything that is on the screen.

Couple days ago a voice started up telling me everything that is on the screen.  Whatever I click on, it tells me what it is.............annoying.

    Hi winter8784,

    Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

    I'd be happy to take a closer look to see how we can help. You may have accidentally enabled "Screen reader", a mode for sight-impaired viewers. That's why your Roku player sounds like it's been talking to you. You can turn off Audio Guide by pressing the * button on your remote 4 times quickly.

    Please try doing this and see if it helps with what you're experiencing.


    Best regards,
    Mary

      You can completely deactivate the four-* shortcut via Roku menu path Settings > Accessibility > Shortcut (in the Screen Reader or Audio Guide section)
