Samsung smart TVs have built-in voice guide features that speak menu options and channel changes aloud. While this may be useful if you're hearing impaired, it might get annoying if you turn it on accidentally. This wikiHow article teaches you how to disable Voice Guide on a Samsung Smart TV.

Quick Steps

Using the Settings Menu
