How to Turn Off Dvs on Lg Tv
Smart devices like smartphones, computers, and TVs have an Accessibility Menu to help people with disabilities like visual and hearing impairment. While the voice assistant or Audio Description feature on LG Smart TV can be helpful to people with weak eyesight, it might be very irritating to those who don't have any problem. In this tutorial, we'll check out the steps to turn off Google Assistant, Audio Description, or voice guidance on LG TV.
When the voice assistant or voice guidance on your LG Smart TV is enabled, you'll get audio feedback while browsing the menu and selecting options. Moreover, the audio description also works while using apps like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, web browser, etc. Thus, if your LG TV is reading or describing the menu out loud, it means you have activated audio guidance accidentally or unintentionally. You must turn off the Audio Description feature to make it stop talking.

All LG LED, OLED or Nano-cell TVs have the Audio Description feature that can be enabled or disabled from Accessibility settings.
Note: When Audio Description or Guidance is enabled on your LG TV, the on-screen pointer or cursor will stop working.

Google Assistant is a very convenient feature. If you don't like it, you can set up Alexa instead. However, if you encounter the "Meet your Google Assistant" screen every time you turn on your LG TV, there's an easy way to get rid of that.
