Using Voice Interaction
A Guide to using Voice Interaction to control your TV.
To use Voice Interaction, your TV must be connected to the Internet and you must use the microphone on your 
Samsung Smart Remote.
Voice Interaction lets you speak commands to control the TV, for example, to change the channel or display the 
programme guide. This is not the same as Voice Guide which provides speech output from the TV that says what is 
displayed on screen. Voice Guide is useful for people who cannot see or read the menu items on screen.
To use Voice Interaction, you press the  button on the remote, say a command, such as "Guide", into the 
microphone on your Samsung Smart Remote.
 "This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical region.
Running Voice Interaction
Press and hold the  button on the Samsung Smart Remote. The TV will respond, saying "Speak now". Say the 
command you want, and then release the button. The TV will provide feedback about what it has understood, and 
then carry out the action.
 "If the TV cannot identify the command, try again with more precise pronunciation.
 "This function may not be supported depending on the model or geographical region.
Some useful commands are:
 ●Voice Guide on/off – turns the speech output on/off
 ●Audio description on/off – turns audio description on/off
 ●Guide – opens the programme guide
 ●Channel list – opens the channel list
 ●Volume up/down – changes the volume up/down
You can also search for videos on YouTube. Press and hold the  button, and then say a phrase for example, “songs 
by [name]”. This will bring up a list of video clips of songs by that artist.
 "Voice Guide will voice a lot of information about the video. It is not yet possible to interrupt this and it will run over the first 
few seconds of the video.
If you say a command which is not recognised, the TV will often try a search. Press  to return to TV.
