The Narrator is a simple screen reading utility that has been available in the Windows operating system since the days of Windows XP, which is no longer supported. The Narrator tool is basically useful for visually impaired users, but can be used by anyone to hear what you see on the screen.

While voice output can be activated using the usability navigation in the Application Preferences or in the Windows 10 Control Panel, voice output can also be activated quickly using keyboard shortcuts. On Windows 10, voice output can be activated by simultaneously pressing the Windows and Enter keys.

If you accidentally turn on the speech function in Microsoft Windows 10 and hear a speaker’s voice when you type, start your computer or move your mouse over an item. You can turn it off with a simple adjustment. That’s how you do it.
