Voice on Samsung TV or projector announces everything I do

Samsung provides many accessibility options for our customers. One of them is the Voice Guide, which provides narration for everything that appears on the TV, projector, or Odyssey Ark gaming screen, like menu options, the volume level, channel, etc. Turning off the feature will stop the device from narrating or announcing the names of everything that is highlighted on the screen.

The accessibility menu can also be reached by holding the volume button on the remote. This is typically how the feature gets turned on accidentally.

If your TV or projector is announcing everything you do, then the Voice Guide is turned on. Voice Guide is an accessibility function to assist users who are blind or have low vision.

To turn off Voice Guide, navigate to Home > Settings (All Settings) > General (General & Privacy) > Accessibility > Voice Guide Settings > Voice Guide > Off

If these steps do not match what your product is showing, check the user manual for your TV or projector. If you are unable to disable the voice guide, please contact us.
