Direct-to-playback search results (U.S. only) With direct-to-playback, voice search results jump directly to and start playing the program whenever your search command can be uniquely identified and the requested content is available at no additional cost to you.1 Searching from the Roku mobile app Use the free Roku mobile app on your compatible smartphone or tablet to make searching even faster. Use your mobile device's keypad to type more quickly and easily than with the on-screen keyboard on your TV. You also can search by touching the Voice Search icon and saying the name of the movie, TV show, actor, streaming channel, or game, or, only in the United States, director name or genre. When you use the Roku mobile app to search, search results are shown on your mobile device instead of on the TV screen. When you make a selection from the search results, the TV starts playing the selected program. For more information, see Roku mobile app. Searching for free content As you'll discover, there is a lot of content available through your Roku TV, and much of it is free. Only in the United States, 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 shows." • Google Home, Google Pixel phone, or the Google Home mobile app-Say "OK Google, show me free shows on Roku," or "Hey Google, show me free documentaries on Roku." • Amazon Alexa-Say "Alexa, show me free miniseries on Roku" or "Alexa, show me free dramas on Roku." 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. 94
