This has happened to me on both HBO Max and paramount +. The only thing that works and not every time is to reboot the Roku. It is so annoying. It's clearly a bug with Roku. Roku what is the main issue???

I had Roku for 5 months, the screen reader came on 3 days ago and won’t leave. I pressed* 4 times. I delete Prime, reset Romulo, reinstall prime. There are no 2 English options. I don’t have HBO. The screen reader is OFF in settings. I tried every suggestions listed here  I’m getting annoyed with Roku

@Connie10, if there's a narrator describing the action in a video that's not the screen reader.  The screen reader reads text on the screen in a robotic voice.  So which one are you hearing?

@Lowski, if there's a voice narrating the action in a video you have to change the audio track.  Usually you press the * button on your remote and look for the option under "Accessibility & captions".  On some channels/apps you select the audio track before you start the video.  If there's no alternate audio track then you need to take it up with Adult Swim or whatever channel/app you're using.

The Screen Reader reads text on a static screen and does nothing while a video is playing.
