  • Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The VoiceOver feature available on Apple TV generation 3 and above turns your Apple TV into a device that can read text and functions out loud. 

For example, when scrolling through your apps your Apple TV will read the name of the app you are currently on out loud. Your Apple TV will also read the subheadings of any menus, the titles of movies or shows, and even how much time is left of a movie.

To turn VoiceOver on or off, you can use Siri or navigate to your Settings. However, on Apple TV 3, you can only turn VoiceOver on or off in your settings.

Use Siri (Apple TV 4K or HD)

Siri is only available on the Apple TV 4K or HD. Ryan Ariano/Business Insider

1. Hold the Siri button on your Apple TV remote.

2. Say "Siri, turn off VoiceOver." You can also ask Siri to turn on VoiceOver.

3. VoiceOver will be toggled on or off, depending on your Siri request.

You can disable or adjust Voiceover from this menu. Ryan Ariano/Business Insider

1. Open Settings on your Apple TV.

2. Select "General."

3. Scroll down and select "Accessibility" and then "Accessibility Shortcut."

4. Scroll down and select "VoiceOver." 

This will take you to the VoiceOver menu, where you can adjust VoiceOver settings, including the actual voice your Apple TV uses.
