Features, settings & updates

I want to TOTALLY Eliminate any sound generated by Roku.  Roku has started giving all kinds of stuff I have no desire to hear.  It tells me how much time is left when the movie when it is paused, it tells me other un-necessary stuff.   I want the Roku to SHUT UP!

How do I stop Roko from talking?

How to change screen reader settings
