How to turn off VoiceOver on Apple TV Remote

The VoiceOver rotor lets you use gestures on the clickpad centre (second-generation Siri Remote) or touch surface (first-generation Siri Remote) to adjust VoiceOver controls such as speaking rate.

Tip: The Read Screen After Delay rotor control lets you hear any remaining text items on the screen, such as movie descriptions or actor listings.

1. Rotate two fingers around a point on the clickpad centre or touch surface to open the VoiceOver rotor, which contains additional controls.

   The available rotor controls vary, depending on what you’re doing. When you open the rotor, you hear a sound before VoiceOver speaks the currently selected control.

2. Do either of the following:

   • Switch to another control: Rotate two fingers left or right again.

   • Adjust a control: Swipe up or down. As you swipe, VoiceOver speaks the currently selected value (for example, “55 per cent”).

     For example, to adjust speech rate, rotate two fingers until the VoiceOver speech rate rotor control is selected. Then swipe up or down to increase or decrease the speech rate.

   • Perform a custom rotor action: Rotate two fingers until Custom Actions is selected in the rotor. Swipe up or down to hear each custom action, then press the clickpad centre or the touch surface to perform an action.

3. To exit the rotor, swipe left or right or wait approximately three seconds until you hear an exit sound.
