Press the * button on the remote 4 times to turn off the 'Audio Guide'.

Please edit your post and remove your email address. That's a sure way to get inundated by spam. 

In addition to hitting the * button four times quickly, you can also find the setting to control it in the Settings/Accessibility/Audio Guide menu.

If you don't want this to happen again you can disable the shortcut, which is pressing the * 4 times, go into the settings> accessibility> scroll to Shortcut> disable

Really, really bad idea to post your phone number. Remove it fast. Scammers will be all over you.

Look under settings/accessibility and turn voice guide off.

Roku is a product I would never encourage anyone to buy.  I just want the voice turned off, but it has not given me the information.  Don’t buy Roku

@Dokimos8 There's two ways that something might "talk" to you. One is an audio track that provides descriptive information for people with vision issues. That is going to be channel dependent. The other is the Voice Guide in the Roku itself. That can be toggled on/off by quickly pressing the * button four times. That's often how people activate it accidentally. It can be completely disabled by turning it off in the Settings/Accessibility/Voice Guide menu.
