Searching with Amazon Alexa
Use your Amazon Echo Dot, Echo Plus, Echo Show, or the Amazon Alexa mobile app
to search for programs:
1. Link your Roku account to your Amazon account using the Amazon Alexa app
on your iOS or Android device.
2. Start your command with
“Alexa,”
and follow the command with
“on Roku.”
Some examples:
•
“Alexa, turn up the volume on Roku.”
•
“Alexa, show me documentaries on Roku.”
Note:
You also can issue commands to control your Roku TV. And, if you have
enabled Fast TV Start on your TV, you can turn on your TV by saying,
“Alexa,
turn on Roku.”

Searching for free content
You’ll discover an almost endless list of content through your Roku TV, and much of it
is free. You can easily find free content by including the word “free” in your search.
For example:
• Roku Voice remote or Roku mobile app—Say, “Show me free comedies” or
“Show me free romance,” or simply, “Show me free programs.”
1 Direct-to-playback commands work with selected streaming channels. Direct playback occurs only
when there is a high confidence of match, the content is free or you are already subscribed, and the
channel is already added to your Home screen.
