Turn off voice over

Jump to solution

After my Roku channel has been activated, there is a VERY grating voice over that speaks everything you for are doing for the first several minutes you have the channel activated??? I can't figure out how to turn it off. HELP!

Thank you..............

Try pressing the option * key 4 times, its probably how it got turned on in the first place by pressing the options 4 times. So if you want to disable the shortcut do the following:

 

settings> accessibility> scroll down to shortcut> disable

After the 4 clicks my screen went blank and my heart stopped! After a longish wait a 'dancing' ROKU appeared on he screen. After another wait I hit home again  and everything reset itself.

Thanks for peace at last!

Absolutely nothing happened when I hit the * four times.  The voice is driving me nuts so any other suggestions. Marlynn
