Roku's comparison table lists "Hands-free voice: Yes" for the Plus Series, with a Voice remote Pro. Roku's TV v15 guide (October 2025, before this model) says "Your Roku TV does not have a built-in microphone" and describes hands-free "Hey Roku" as a switch on the Voice Remote Pro. The 2026 quick start guide lists a "Roku TV Remote" in the box. Roku doesn't say for this model where the hands-free microphone is.

This model has Roku's ACR feature (branded "Smart TV Experience"), which analyses on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

Roku documents opt-in ACR for live TV and connected inputs under Smart TV experience, offered the first time you use live TV or an input, with a Use info from TV inputs opt-out. The guide says turning it off doesn't delete information already collected. The guide covers Roku TVs generally, not this series by name.
