I see, thank you for the info!
Please, go to the Roku app on your TV and try pressing the Options button on the Roku remote four times quickly. The Options button is located just below the directional pad and at the right-hand side of the Roku remote

Using the Star Key on the Remote
Pressing the star or asterisk key on your Roku remote four times in a row toggles Screen Reader off and on. This is the quickest and easiest way to make your Roku stop talking. You can press the star key four times again at any time to turn voice narration back on.

Please follow these steps:
Navigate to your Roku's Settings. You can find it on your Roku's homepage.
Select Accessibilty tab.
Select Screen Reader. This may be called Audio Guide on some devices.
Select Off to turn off Screen Reader. Once you disable Screen Reader, your Roku will no longer narrate the screen aloud.
On some Roku models, you may also see an option reading "Shortcut". You can turn off this option to disable the remote button shortcut that may have led to your accidentally enabling the feature.

I did. Thanks
