how do I get rid of the robotic voice

Jump to solution

I see they said the problem of no roku on 10/11/22 was fixed BUT I have this female robot voice announcing everything on my device. How do I get rid of her. It is very annoying to say the least. It was NOT there before Roku did the update. HELP before I do something drastic.!

Sounds like you've inadvertently enabled our text-to-speech reader, formerly known as Audio Guide. 

You can disable the text-to-speech reader by pressing the [*] button on your remote four times in quick succession.
