Roku Expands Voice Functions, Speeds Wi-Fi

Roku is heading into the holiday quarter with new 4K streaming sticks with voice control and an upgraded operating system, said the company Monday. OS 10.5 updates get customers to content more quickly and add improvements to the voice remote experience, said the company. “Nearly any channel” in the search function supports the feature now, including Netflix and Spotify, it said. A new Wi-Fi receiver delivers up to 2x faster Streaming Stick Wi-Fi speeds than previous models, said the company.
