If you don’t remember enabling this feature, you probably long pressed the volume button on your remote, and your TV activated it. Not to worry, you can disable this feature using the same volume button.
How to Turn Off Voice Assist on Samsung TV?
There are various methods to turn off the Voice Assist feature, from as simple as using voice control to using the advanced TV settings. Here, we have listed the 5 best ways that you can use to turn off Voice Assist on Samsung TV.
Using Voice Control
The first method to turn off Voice Assist on Samsung TV is to use the voice control feature. You don’t need to navigate through the TV settings just to turn off a single function. Simply order your TV to turn off the Voice Assist, and it will do the job.
Using Volume Button
If the voice control does not work, you can use a volume button on your remote to disable this feature. But remember, this method is applicable only if you have a Samsung smart remote. These remotes have a single volume button and are pushed upwards or downwards to increase or decrease the volume.
Using TV Settings
TV settings are the general go-to option to turn off the Voice Assist feature if neither of the above-discussed methods worked for you. With a few taps on your remote, you can turn off the feature. However, depending on the model of your TV, the steps to access the voice settings can be slightly different. But they are pretty similar in TV models after 2014.
Using Audio Description Settings
As we already discussed, the steps to turn off Voice Assist on Samsung TV are pretty similar in models after 2014. But if you own a TV before the 2014 model, there is no such functionality as Voice Guide. There they have the Audio Description (AD) feature. You need to turn it off to disable the Voice Assist feature.
Using Bixby Voice Settings
Bixby is a virtual AI assistant that powers the Voice Assist feature on Samsung TVs. Sometimes, only disabling the voice guide settings won’t work, and you need to turn off the Bixby as well. Turning the Bixby feature off will entirely disable the voice functionality on your TV.
What if the Voice Assist Feature Still Does Not Turn Off?
Now that you have gone through all five ways to turn off Voice Assist on Samsung TV, you probably have figured out a method. Otherwise, there are a few things that might prevent Voice Assist from turning off. Some TVs need a restart before the changes are applied to them. So, restart the TV once you have disabled the feature. Moreover, also see if any other apps installed on your TV use the voice functionality. If there are, uninstall them. You can also reset your Samsung TV to factory defaults as a last resort to solve this problem. Moreover, you can consult your TV’s user manual to see if there is any guideline on how to turn off Voice assist. Please do not hesitate to contact Samsung Customer Care if anything does not work. They will help you figure out the problem and solve it.
