How to Turn Off Xumo Voice: A Step-by-Step Guide 

You are not the only one who gets tired of Xumo's voice guidance tool narrating everything you do. It can be easy and quick to turn it off if it is getting in the way of your favorite shows or if you just don’t need it. Here are the simple steps you need to take to turn off Xumo Voice Guidance on your TV or other device.

Understanding Xumo Voice Guidance 

What is Voice Guidance? 

Voice Guidance is an accessibility tool that helps people who have trouble seeing. It talks about menu choices, screen elements and other actions to help them navigate through menus. Some people find it useful, but others might not just need it. The good thing is that you can turn it off by making a few changes in settings.

Step-by-Step Guide to Turning Off Xumo Voice 

Using the Remote Control 

Your remote is the best and fastest way to turn off Voice Guidance on Xumo. Here is how you can do it:

Step 1: Accessing Settings 

• You can use the Xumo remote to get to the menu by pressing the Menu button. 
• When the menu comes up, use the button keys on your remote to move down until you see "Settings."
• 
• Press the OK button to choose it. 

This is where you can change your settings for accessibility, such as Voice Guidance. 

Step 2: Disabling Voice Guidance 

Look for the section called "Accessibility" in the Settings menu. The accessibility choices will appear once you click on this button. This is where the Voice Guidance tool is available. To turn it off, just click the OK button after selecting the choice. This will stop the feature from working and turn off Xumo voice. 

Step 3: Alternative Shortcut 

This shortcut can save you time if your Xumo remote has an “Accessibility” button; this button generally has a small figure icon. Hold down the button for about three seconds. You can now quickly turn off Voice Guidance by going straight to the Accessibility menu without having to go through the whole menu.

Using Voice Commands 

You can also use Voice prompts to turn off Xumo Voice Guidance if you would rather not do it manually. 

Step 1: Activating Voice Control 

To begin, press your remote's Voice Control button. Hold the button down and talk into the mic. Do not speak too softly so the system can easily understand what you mean. This step is important to make sure your voice order works right. 

Step 2: Issuing the Command 

Say "Turn off Voice Guidance" after you have turned on voice control. The system will perform the action and let you know when the feature is off. Do not worry if it does not work right away. Try again with simple words like "Turn off voice" or "Disable narration." 

Navigating Through the Menu 

Another easy way to turn off Xumo Voice is to go through the menu if you cannot use the remote shortcut or voice controls. 

Step 1: Access the Main Menu 

Press the "Home" button on your remote to start, which will open up the main menu. Select the Settings button which should be simple to find. When you find it, click on the icon to go to the next step and see more choices. 

Step 2: Navigate to Accessibility Settings 

Once you are in the settings menu, scroll down until you find Accessibility Settings. All the tools such as Voice Guidance that make the app easier to use can be found here. It will take some time to find, but once you do click on it to proceed. 

Step 3: Turn Off Voice Guidance 

Once you’re in the Accessibility Settings, find the Voice Guidance option. Select it using your remote and press OK to turn it off. You’ll see a message on your screen confirming that Voice Guidance has been disabled.

Troubleshooting Common Issues 

It is not always easy to turn off Voice Guidance as you might think. Here are some ways to deal with it. 

Voice Guidance Option is Grayed Out 

You might need to restart your device if you can not find or turn on the Voice Guidance option in the settings. Remove the power plug of your Xumo TV or box, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in. After turning it on, go back to the settings and see if the Voice Guidance option is visible now. 

Settings Not Saving 

Changes to Voice Guidance settings might not be saved if your device has old software on your device. You should make sure that the latest software update is installed on your Xumo TV or box. Updating your device is important so that all features like setting changes work the way they should.

Voice Guidance Turns Back On Automatically 

Sometimes Voice Guidance can turn it back on by itself because of a factory restart or a small software problem. To fix this, you can go back to your device settings and turn off Voice Guidance. If this keeps happening, you should get help from Xumo support to fix the problem.

Disabling Voice Features on Specific Xumo Devices 

There may be a few small differences in how to turn off the voice option on different Xumo devices. 

Xumo Stream Box 

Your Xumo Stream Box has a Menu button that you can press to turn off Voice Guidance. After that, go to Settings and look for the Accessibility setting and turn off Voice Guidance. It can save you time if your remote has a quick way to get to this feature.

Xumo TV Models 

If you have a Xumo TV, go to the main screen first. Look for System Settings and then click on it for the Accessibility settings. You can press the arrow buttons on your remote to navigate and to turn off Voice guidance by pressing the OK button. 

Take Back Control of Your Viewing Experience 

Disabling Xumo Voice Guidance is a simple way to customize your streaming experience. Whether you use the remote, menu or voice commands, these steps will help you turn off this feature and focus on enjoying your favorite shows without interruptions. To turn it back on, follow the same procedure.

FAQs 

1. Is voice guidance the same as audio descriptions or closed captions on Xumo TVs? 

Not at all. Voice Guidance reads out loud menu choices, and audio descriptions talk about what you see on the screen. On the other hand, Closed captions show spoken conversation as text. These are two different features that have two different purposes. 

2. Why does my Xumo TV keep turning voice guidance back on after I disable it? 

This could happen after a factory restart or because of a bug in the software. Make sure that the firmware on your device is up to date. If the problem keeps happening, you can get more help from Xumo's support team. 

3. Are there any privacy concerns with leaving Xumo voice features enabled? 

Xumo Voice Guidance is not meant to collect data; it is meant to make things easier to use. But if you use voice prompts, keep in mind that these features may save simple input data to improve the system’s performance.
