Options button pressed in error

Jump to solution

I accidentally pressed the * Options button, now I have a voice explaining every screen, and the remaining time on each show. How do I turn it off?

Hi @JJT1,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

Thanks for your effort posting and we understand that you need assistance with disabling the audio guide feature on your Roku.

Please be advised that Screen Reader is a feature that provides automated commentary on every action done on the Roku player. It is an added feature on Roku that will be helpful for visually challenged people. It can be turned on or off by pressing the star(*) button on the Roku remote four times quickly when the shortcut feature is enabled. If not, we will have to guide you to enable/disable the audio guide by going to 'Settings'.

You can also enable/disable the audio guide feature with the help of the steps given below:

  1. Press the home button on your Roku remote
  2. Select Settings > Accessibility > Audio guide > On/Off
