Why is my Samsung TV announcing everything I Do?
Your Samsung TV is announcing everything you do because you have the voice guide turned on.
However, If you have turned off voice on Samsung TV and the TV still announces everything you do, the culprit is the Google Assistant.
Like the voice guide, Google Assistant allows you to control your TV.
Using the Google Assistant feature, you can access entertainment, search Google, and control external devices connected to your TV.
However, you must remember that this feature is not available on all Samsung smart TVs.
Google Assistant is only available on the following Samsung TV models:
- The 2021 Samsung Smart TV models
- The 2020 8k and 4k QLED Smasung TV models

Other Samsung TV Accessibility Options
Closed Captioning
The closed captioning feature displays subtitles for what’s being shown on your Samsung TV.
This is an excellent feature for those with hearing impairment or if you do not want to increase the volume of your TV so much.
Voice Guide Settings
The voice guide settings verbally identify what’s displayed on the Samsung TV screen, such as the volume, program information, current channel, etc.
This feature comes in handy for people with vision impairment.
Accessibility Shortcut
I know how stressful it can be to find an accessibility setting like voice guides, video descriptions, captions, etc.
Well, Samsung TV thought of this and introduced the accessibility shortcut menu where you can access all your Accessibility Settings options in one place without navigating through your TV to find it.
Here are some accessibility options you can easily access from the accessibility shortcut:
- Sign language zoom: Because Samsung TV wants everyone to have equal access to information, it provides a sign language avatar feature that helps transcribe what’s being said on the TV in sign language. The sign language zoom option allows you to zoom in on the sign language avatar for better vision.
- Multi-output audio: The multi-output audio option lets you listen to the TV audio from the TV speaker and any other connected external speaker like Bluetooth headphones.
- Video description: This option provides video description for video scenes on the broadcast that offer video description services.
- Learn Menu Screen: When you turn on the learn menu screen option, you get verbal explanations for the features and menus on your Samsung TV screen.
- Learn TV remote: Like the Learn menu screen, this option explains the function of the TV remote button when pressed.
Note: Some of these feature are available on some Samsung TV models and not available on others.
So if you can’t find some of them, your TV has nothing wrong.
