How To Get Rid Of Subtitles On Roku

Okay, picture this: you're FINALLY settling in for movie night. You've got your popcorn, your comfiest blanket, and... subtitles? Ugh, not again! Don't worry, banishing those pesky little words from your Roku screen is easier than raiding the candy stash.

The Secret Weapon: The Asterisk Button

That little * button on your Roku remote? It's not just for decoration, my friend. It's your new bestie in the war against unwanted subtitles. Prepare to unleash its power!

First, while you're watching that movie or show, give that asterisk button a firm press. A menu should magically appear, like a genie granting your wish (except this genie gets rid of text).

Now, navigate that menu like a seasoned explorer. Look for anything that mentions "captions," "subtitles," or even just a vaguely related word like "accessibility." You're on the hunt!

Once you find it, simply select the "off" option. Poof! Subtitles, be gone! Victory is yours.

But Wait, There's More! (Sometimes)

Sometimes, those tricky subtitles are a little more stubborn. They've built a fort in the *settings* of the actual app you're using, like Netflix or Hulu.

Don't panic! We'll just have to infiltrate their headquarters. Pause the show and head to the main menu within the app itself.

Every app is a little different, so think of it as a mini-adventure. Hunt for *settings*, *audio & subtitles*, or anything that sounds remotely subtitle-related.

Once you've located the enemy stronghold, turn those subtitles *OFF* with the force of a thousand suns! (Okay, maybe just a gentle click.)

The Ultimate Roku Subtitle Showdown: Device Settings

Okay, last resort, but sometimes necessary. Some sneaky subtitles have burrowed their way into your actual *Roku device settings*. It's like they're hiding in the basement!

From your Roku home screen, navigate to *Settings* (usually it's a gear icon – gears are always a clue for settings, right?). Scroll down, down, down until you find *Accessibility*.

In the accessibility menu, find the dreaded *Captions mode*. Is it set to "on"? Well, there's your culprit! Switch it to "off" or "disabled."

You might need to restart your Roku for the changes to take effect. Think of it as giving your Roku a little nap so it can forget all about subtitles.

And there you have it! You've conquered the subtitle beast! Now, grab that popcorn, dim the lights, and enjoy your show in glorious, uninterrupted silence (except for the crunching, of course).

Remember, the asterisk button is your friend. Embrace it. Love it. Use it. It's the key to a subtitle-free existence.

If all else fails, consult the Roku gods (aka, their support website). They've seen it all, from rogue subtitles to remotes lost in the couch cushions. They've got your back!

Now go forth and enjoy your entertainment, subtitle-free! You've earned it!
