How to use Narrator in Windows 10 8 7

You can turn Off Microsoft Narrator by following the instructions below:
1. Click "Start" and go to "Control Panel"
2. Now, go to "Ease of Access" section
3. In the window that comes up, go to "Ease of Access Center" and then, click "Optimize visual display". It is familiarized with a tagline "Make the computer easier to see".
4. Go to "Hear text and descriptions read aloud" and then, untick "Turn On Narrator" and "Turn On Audio Description" checkboxes.
5. Click "Apply", then click "Ok" and close the window.
To get a pictorial description about the above procedure, you can refer to the following link:

In the bottom left hand of the screen, next to the round windows icon, in the empty search box, (assuming that you have Windows 7) type in narrator. You should then see a menu or result for narrator where you will find the option to turn narrator off.

Go to control panel look under ease of access turn narrator off.

I have the same issue....I reboot and get stuck. I also then hear an echo, but no keyboard button does anything. Help! I have Lenovo g700 and windows 8.1

Here are a few things to try:
[WIN]+[ENTER] (seems to turn narrator on and off)
[CAPS LOCK] + [ESC] (Seems to turn off narrator)
Win 8.1: Control Panel > Optimize visual display (Ease of Access > Ease of Access Center > Make the Computer Easier to see) > uncheck "Turn on Narrator".

I accidentally turned on Windows Narrator using [win]+[enter], so my control panel didn't have the narrator box checked... which means going to control panel didn't turn it off. Finding those hotkeys came in very handy.

Hi w_daly01,

First clik the Start button, then Control Panel. Now, in the Control Panel window, click Ease of Access. In the Ease of Access window, click Ease of Access Center, then in the Ease of Access Center window, under Explore all settings , click Use the computer without a display. Then, in the Use the computer without a display window, click to remove the check mark to the left of "Turn on Narrator". Then click the "Save" button. After that, restart the Computer.

Hi palmtree125

If you go to Control Panel > Ease of Access center then under 'Explore all settings' click on 'Use the computer without a display'. You can then uncheck Narrator to switch it off.

Does this help?

click Start>Control Panel
Select Ease of Access to enter the Ease of Access Center.
Click Optimize visual display which is familiarized with the tagline "Make the computer easier to see".
Uncheck the boxes for Turn on Narrator and Turn on Audio Description under Hear text and descriptions read aloud.
Click Save and close the Control Panel. After restarting your computer the Microsoft Narrator will no longer voice.
