How to shut off voice from roku remote? It is so annoying!

My Roku remote has a voice that drones on and is very annoying. I don't know where it came from - does anyone know how to silence this?

Press the option * key four times. That is probably how it got turned on in the first place, by pressing the option * key four times.

I tried pressing the * 4 times, several times, and it didn't work. Any other

suggestions?

Settings> accessibility> screen reader> off

 

You turn off the shortcut of pressing * 4 times:

 

Settings> accessibility> shortcut> disable

 

I don't know what you did before my first response but you might have disabled the shortcut first before turning off the Screen reader function, and that's why pressing * 4 times didn't work?

I know I'm tardy to the party!  However, I know someone like me who feels like they have been put on the latest episode of Punked or Hacked. In your General>Settings> Automatic Subtitles (OFF) option; doing this will cease the "Annoying Voice", option used for individuals with certain impairments.  I hope this helps!
