TV Speaking What is on the Screen

[Lobonca]

Suddenly my Samsung TV is speaking everything it reads on the screen. How do I turn this off?

On your tv remote hit Settings 

General 

Accessibility 

make sure Voice Guide settings is Off

I spoke (typed too soon). this did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions ?

That's a strange one then since that should be the only setting that has the tv talking to you Ill keep looking around

I had that happen to me. however, it wasn't the TV per se, but a bug in an app. I think it was Max. but after watching one episode of a show, if I stayed there to watch the next one in queue, all of a sudden it was acting if I were blind.....describing the scene, etc. I closed the app, relaunched it, and it worked fine. is the problem your TV or is it app specific?

[Lobonca]

it seems to be the TV and not any particular app.

very strange

Ah Ha! It was the Roku app. Settings > Accessabillity > Screen Reader> Off
Thank you all for your kind help.
