“Is my Samsung TV talking to me?<\/strong>” This sounds like a question straight from a horror movie, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your Samsung TV announces everything you do (on the TV) or narrates everything, there’s no need to fear any spooky visitors. Your TV is not haunted; instead, its Voice Guide feature is turned on or enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with subtitles or closed captions, the Voice Guide is another key accessibility feature on a Samsung Smart TV that seeks to make it more user-friendly, especially for those with any visual or age-related impairments. It’s quite similar to the TalkBack or Screen Reader features on Android. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, you may find the constant voice narration irritating, but stop for a minute and think of a visually impaired or older person. How do they figure out how to switch channels or turn up the volume on their TV?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may not see the screen clearly, yet they can hear the instructions to put on their desired channel or show. The live audio narration further empowers them to experience and enjoy their favorite movie, daytime series, and documentaries via narration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we explore how to turn off Samsung TV voice assistant<\/strong>, let’s take a look at the key benefits of this audio-based accessibility feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Voice Guide is an interactive feature in your Samsung Smart TV that provides an audio narrative of your actions, menu options, movie titles, descriptions, channel names, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
