Searching with Amazon Alexa
1
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.”

available at no additional cost to you.

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:
•
RokuVoiceRemoteorRokumobileapp—Say, “Show me free comedies” or “Show me
free romance,” or simply, “Show me free shows.”
•
GoogleHome,GooglePixelphone,ortheGoogleHomemobileapp—Say “OK Google,
show me free programs on Roku,” or “Hey Google, show me free documentaries on
Roku.”
•
AmazonAlexa—Say “Alexa, show me free miniseries on Roku” or “Alexa, show me free
dramas on Roku.”
1 Voice features support English and Spanish languages when the corresponding TV language is selected.
2 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.
