Is my Roku streaming device compatible with a Roku voice remote?
Voice search and voice control is supported on all Roku devices shipped since 2017, along with several older devices. A quick way to confirm if you are already using a Roku voice remote with your Roku streaming device is to look at your remote.
All Roku voice remotes have a voice button located near the purple directional pad that has either a microphone 
or magnifying glass 
icon.
If your remote has a voice button, you have a Roku voice remote. If it does not, you have a Roku simple remote.
