What Does Samsung TV Voice Guide Mean?

Voice Guide is a voice assistant function on Samsung smart TVs that functions similarly to Windows' Narrator or Mac's VoiceOver. This screen reader reads text on the screen automatically—such as menu items and movie and TV show descriptions. Additionally, it sounds like a warning every time you move between connected devices.

Voice Guide can help you navigate menus, switch input devices, and select what to watch on your TV if you have difficulty reading words on the screen. Not only can you turn this feature on and off, but you can also change the voice's pitch, loudness, and speed.
