The INSERT key is used for Narrator commands, so when you press INSERT while Narrator is running, you won’t be able to insert characters. To use the INSERT key to insert characters while Narrator is running, press INSERT+I and then the characters you want to add.
Here are some answers to common questions about text-to-speech programs.
Note that Narrator is not available in all languages.
Can on-screen text be read aloud to me?
Yes, Narrator and other programs read aloud text, buttons, menus, file names, and other items on the screen—even keystrokes. This can be helpful for people who don't see the screen or have difficulty seeing the screen.
Does Windows include a text-to-speech program?
Yes. It's called Narrator. It's adjustable in many ways and can make the computer easier to use. For more information, see Hear text read aloud with Narrator in Windows Help.
Can any computer read text aloud?
Nearly any computer can be set up to read text aloud. Make sure your computer has a functioning sound card, and that you meet the basic requirements. For more information, see Troubleshoot Narrator problems in Help.
Are there other text-to-speech programs?
Yes, there are several. For a list of text-to-speech programs, go to the Microsoft Accessibility website www.microsoft.com/enable.
