How to shut off Windows Voice

[Doug B]

I'm using Windows 11. Somehow I turned on the "feature" that reads out loud every friggin' thing on the screen, and I can't turn it off!


Help!

Find "Narrator" in Accessibility (in Settings, which is in the menu when you click on the Start icon), and turn it off.

Try going to Settings, Accessibility and then to Narrator and see if that has been switched on

In Windows, the feature you referenced is in "Ease of Access" settings (for sight impaired users), you'll need to go there and turn it off.

Thanks,guys. I got it turned off with the command " win key + Ctrl + T + RNTER

Cool. 3 people gave you the same advice, but we all missed the key command you used. I guess you somehow stumbled onto that same key command to turn it on by mistake...

What a cruel practical joke that would be, huh? Switch on that narrator app on someone's pc, truly maddening!

No kidding-I was seriously thinking that I might as well just reinstall Windows!
