It seems like a voice repeat was activated on your Roku.
Please follow the instructions to turn the voice repeat off:

  1. Go to the Home menu
  2. Scroll down to Settings
  3. Select Accessibility > Screen reader.
  4. Choose the “Off” setting.

I see
Then please try another option:
To make your Roku stop talking, you should quickly hit the “*” button on your remote four times

Yes that’s the one I did

Okay, we can try another way to turn that option off. Don't worry, I will instruct you.
A second way of disabling the screen reader is by digging into Roku’s Accessibility menu.
From the Home menu, scroll down to Settings, then select Accessibility > Screen reader. Choose the “Off” setting and get ready for some peace and quiet.
Here is another photo for you:
