Can anyone get the Windows XP built-in narrator to read documents without narrating menus?

Question

I'd like to configure Windows XP's built-in Narrator to read Word and text documents to me aloud. Yet it's unnecessarily reading all the menu and toolbar items (e.g. "File; Edit; View;" and so on), when I just want it to read the text I typed. To fix this, I ran the program ("narrator.exe"), and then left only "Read typed characters" checked. Yet Narrator still reads all the menu bars, etc.

Can anyone figure out how to fix this so that Narrator reads the text I wrote, and nothing else?

Answer 1

you need to go to comp, properties and change settings ez tap start bottom corner then my compt, click on narrator and it s settings to your needs got it .

Answer 2

You may have to invest in another narrator program. I have Dragaon Naturally and love it.. this is what I found on XP and OS X's narrator capabilities..

XP's Narrator speaks dialogs, although it also speaks the contents of every foreground window, which makes this feature somewhat useless (if not annoying) when you have many open windows on the screen and you simply want it to read an open dialog. Narrator will identify the dialog as such, and will announce its title, contents, and buttons. It will identify the buttons as such, and will read their text twice.

Conclusion
OS X's speech and voice recognition capabilities are arguably more advanced than XP's. While OS X has thorough support for voice recognition, XP Home and Pro lack included support entirely. OS X also gives the user much more control over narration, letting one specify what aspects of the interface they would like read aloud. XP's Narrator has far fewer options, limiting its usefulness. XP also lacks an ability to read selected text. OS X ships with 21 included voices (although some are arguably more practical than others), compared to XP's one.

i do no longer think of there is any threat of you getting your archives returned till you have been prepared to pay a professional corporation to attain this. that is been pronounced which you're able to attempt Google. even nonetheless i think of till you're somewhat fortunate there is not any lifelike threat of restoration via any software (paid for or freeware) which you will locate. I say that because of the fact maximum of those courses artwork via gaining access to the indexes of archives held on your laptop or laptop. once you delete a document that is not surely deleted. The document call get entry to on the index or indexes is basically marked as deleted. this suggests the gap used via the document is obtainable to be written to faster or later in time. The courses basically flow in the path of the indexes searching for deleted entries and examine to be sure if the document remains obtainable. on your case once you reinstalled the indexes would be rewritten. there is not any way for basically about all of those courses to perceive archives mendacity on a chew of your HD that would not incorporate your new version of the OS.
