Where are you located?  I seem to recall someone saying the same thing and he was located where I believe the voice feature isn't supported.

@renojim Why would you soft lock a feature and make it available to the rest. when it should be available from the start? it just make it hard to recommend roku to my friends if this is the case. and I'll just return my device at this point.

And English is the 2nd language of the Philippines. so it's not that hard for us to use it. So why limit?

@Riku1, you'd have to ask Roku. I have nothing to do with them.

How do you ask them? @renojim

Hi @Riku1, thanks for posting in the Roku Community!

We really value the feedback we get from our Roku users. Just a heads-up, because Roku devices are US-based, certain features and channels might be restricted if accessed from outside the US. Your input means a lot to us, and we are committed to passing it along to the right team.

Thank you for your understanding and continued participation in our community.

Best regards,
