Using Narrator
Narrator is a text-to-speech utility for people who are blind or have low
vision. Narrator reads what is displayed on the screen-the contents of the
active
window, menu options, or text that has been typed.
Narrator is designed to work with Notepad, WordPad, Control Panel programs,
Internet Explorer, the Windows desktop, and some parts of Windows Setup.
Narrator
may not read words aloud correctly in other programs. Narrator has a number
of options that allow you to customize the way screen elements are read. You
can:
List of 4 items
. Have new windows, menus, or shortcut menus read aloud when they are
displayed.
. Have typed characters read aloud.
. Have the mouse pointer follow the active item on the screen.
. Adjust the speed, volume or pitch of the voice.

The accessibility tools that ship with Windows are intended to provide a
