Windows 10: Narrator does not speak the minus sign for negative amounts by default.

With the keystrokes Narrator + alt + ] you can choose math and then the minus sign is spoken. Can you set this as the default?

Narrator voice randomly speaking on Windows 10

Yeah I thanks, didn't know another narrator setting was in the change sign in settings..

I had a look at mine one and it does not look any different to your screenshot

I still do not know what is causing this problem.

I did try it, and yes it did show up in the taskbar. When I turned it back off, it stayed off; so I really don't have any further suggestions as to why your narrator voice is randomly speaking when you have it disabled other than the possibility that it is somehow not being disabled when you select that option.

Perhaps someone else will have some further insight to the glitch you are experiencing and a possible remedy.

Post back if you find any further information about the situation.

Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

EDIT:

I did find however, that if you access the narrator from Control Panel, this screen comes up:





So essentially, a different set of settings is accessible from what I can see:

Based on the description, it appears that you are facing issues in getting the Read option in Adobe Reader to speak loud.

• Which version of Adobe Reader is installed on your computer?

enabling the read loud options and check if it helps.
