Here's what I want:
- Windows Narrator reads ONLY the text that I specifically tell it to read.
- If I have not told it explicitly to read some text, it should stay silent.
- Moreover, after I have told it to read some text, I can click elsewhere, type stuff, generally perform all other tasks, while it obediently continues reading out the text I told it to read.
Right now the problem is that wherever I click, Narrator starts yapping away. I can tell Narrator to read some specific text, but as soon as I try to do anything else, say click some other window, it stops reading what I told it to read, and instead reads what's in that window.
(It would be very surprising if there isn't any way to get the above simple request to work. But then again Microsoft never ceases to amaze.)
Drake, this question was never properly answered. I'm looking for the same thing. Did you ever find a solution to this? – BeanBagKing – 2015-11-05T14:58:14.703
@BeanBagKing Hi, no never found how to do with narrator. Even with Windows 10 it didn't change the behavior described above – Drake – 2015-11-05T17:14:43.113
I never found a way to do this in Windows 7 Narrator anyway. I'm not sure if Windows 8 improved on it... – Mufasa – 2012-10-28T16:22:57.503
