Hi @KayeER,

Thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

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
