Thanks for the welcome.

There's no Caption Style in Accessibility.

Please advise. My eyes aren't coping.

I know how to make the captions larger, but I'm having trouble reading the descriptions & sometimes titles of shows. The font Roku menu screens are too small as well.

Hi @NiLa,

Welcome, and thanks for posting to the Roku Community!

We understand you are having trouble with the font size of the channels on your Roku home menu screen.

Have you tried to restart your Roku device to see if it helps? If none, we suggest navigating this to Settings > System > Power > System restart (if you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step).

Please let us know what you find out.

All the best,
Chel

I am having the same problem. I cannot read the names/dates/seasons/etc. without squinting or moving way too close to the TV. (Captions aren’t the issue.)

Your solution doesnt address the problem.  Specifically the text size is too small in the channel guide, not captions. I too have problems reading the channel guide.  I am getting my content on local antenna tv. I have no access to cable and don't want satellite. 

Let me know if the text size on channel guide can be fixed. 

Thanks Ron Brown

It’s not the caption text that’s the biggest problem. It’s the list of options on the left to choose from, the titles of movies, the live tv guide, it’s anything that I need to see in order to make a choice. Can the font type size be increased? I have four Roku remotes and all are somewhat different software but basically the same small type for reading to make choices. I have two large 55” tvs and two medium ones like 32”…all are difficult to see category lists, alphabet to type in search bar, movie names, etc. Does Roku have an accessibility remote that would help with these issues? Kindest regards

This only works for captions. Roku needs to make text size larger in menus. Stupidly, you can control the text size of captions within a program, but God forbid you make the text to get into the program seeable. And this is an issue across apps as well, so really, no streaming services are considering a large chunk of the global population.
