Some Roku remote models support voice commands. You can search for your favorite TV shows and movies, as well as issue commands to launch channels and control playback. Voice commands on Roku are similar to those available on popular smart speakers. You can control the playback of video and audio content with voice commands.
On remotes that support voice commands, press and hold the microphone or magnifying glass button to get started. You can use actions such as search, find, look, play, and show when you want the device to search and play content. Some example commands include: "Show me documentaries," "Find 'Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure,'" "Show me Keanu Reeves films," or "Play 'Friends' on Netflix."
Voice commands also let you issue instructions you would normally use a remote button to accomplish, such as "Ok," "stop," and "cancel". Voice commands such as "pause," "rewind," and "next" can be used to control video playback and pause. You can even control closed caption display with "turn on closed captioning" and "hide the captions" commands.
