How do I turn off the menu computer lady voice talking when I turn on my Roku, she is telling me how many channels I have and what channels I am going through. I have had this device for over a year and this just started, it never use do this and do not like it.

Press the * button on your remote four times in rapid succession or go into Settings->Accessibility->Audio Guide and disable it.  While you're there, disable the Shortcut.

That first reply from @renojim that you didn't read and follow? Go read and follow it. That's the answer:

press the star button rapidly 4 times  and the annoying lady goes away , if you do it again by mistake she comes back when this happens repeat then she's gone again

If someone from Roku (perhaps @RokuDanny-R or another employee) would mark @renojim's answer as the answer, that might help others in the future.

For Roku Ultra (4800R):

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Captions Mode, then drop down to Screen reader and select "Off".

Now go back to Screen reader and drop down to Shortcut and select "Disable".
