Hi @frustrated24,

Thanks for your first post here in the Roku Community!

We understand that you want to turn off your voice description. We're glad to assist you with your concern.

  • Note: The screen reader was previously known as the Audio Guide.

You can customize your screen reader experience by going to Settings, then Accessibility, and then Screen Reader. The various configurations available to you are as follows:

Screen reader on/off:

  • Turn the screen reader on or off. This is the same as pressing Star four times.

Shortcut:

  • Speech rate allows you to customize the speed at which the screen reader reads out text. There are four speech rate settings – Slow, Normal, Fast, and Very Fast. When you navigate to a particular setting, the screen reader gives you a sample of how it sounds at that speed. To select a specific speech rate, you must press OK on your Roku remote.

For full information on this, you can take a look at this link: How to enable the text-to-speech screen reader on your Roku® streaming device | Official Roku Suppor...

We hope this helps! We'll be here if you need anything else.

All the best,
