Features, settings & updates

The voice on the Roku Screen Reader absolutely sucks.  You can barely hear it and it is completely unintelligible when you can.  Roku needs to fix this or just get rid of it altogether.

No amount of restarting or adjusting the settings fixes the issue The screen reader just simply mumbles it's hard to understand it doesn't enunciate very well it's not loud enough to hear it over any other noises that are going on in the room or on the TV The pitch is not good the speed doesn't adjust much beyond making it harder to understand. Just turn the thing on and you can hear what it sounds like try listening to the voice-over on Android if you want to hear an example of how it should sound. Or even on iPhone. There's another person who posted that the screen reader is mumbling in the past I didn't catch that one or I would have added to his posting can we please get the developers involved and get them to fix this issue because as it is it's garbage.
