Roku devices have been a much-needed welcome in the tech space thanks to their feasibility and low price. Their overall compatibility with all existing hardware and channels is also responsible for the fact that the company has experienced tremendous success. The latest Roku devices, including Roku TVs and Sticks, come with additional built-in functionality that is meant to make your life easier.

One such feature is the ability to transcribe anything selected on the screen. While this is a necessary addition for users with visual impairments, it can be annoying if accidentally enabled on your device. Let’s take a look at some of the settings you can change to prevent your Roku device from transcribing everything.
