Narrator is built into every PC computer, if you are running Microsoft products and their operating systems (OS).<br>
<br>
If you are using talking software already and you use the following
hotkey, the double speech may get annoying, so turn it off. Narrator is a
basic program. If you do not have talking software on your machine and
need to get it installed, this is a way you can do it independently. It
is a basic talking program and does not come close to a speech program
such as <a href="http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/jaws/jaws-downloads.asp">JAWS</a>, but it does help you to get things setup.<br>
<br>
In Windows 7, Hit your Start Key+U also known as the Windows key with
the Logo+ U - hit ALT+N to start narrator...if you are blind, you are
going to walk by faith as you turn on your computer with NO speech and
just do those 2 commands and narrator will start speaking to you. A
dialog box will open with options, just TAB through to select the ones
you want to use and continue with your work on the machine.<br>
<br>
In XP, hitting the Start Key+U will immediately get Narrator talking. A
dialog box will open with options--down arrow to listen to the options,
then TAB to your next options, then TAB to OK.<br>
<br>
This is a wonderful option for anyone who needs speech to get things
setup on his or her new computer or fix one where the speech has gone
down.<div> </div><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Brush Script MT';COLOR:black;FONT-SIZE:18pt;"><font color="#4040ff"> Denise </font></span></div><div><span style="FONT-FAMILY:'Brush Script MT';COLOR:black;FONT-SIZE:18pt;"></span> </div><div>Denise M.
