    Narrator is a screen-reading app built into Windows 10.

    Narrator lets you use your PC without a display or mouse to complete common tasks if youre blind or have low vision. It reads and interacts with things on the screen, like text and buttons. Use Narrator to read and write email, browse the internet, and work with documents.

    Specific commands let you navigate Windows, the web, and apps, as well as get info about the area of the PC you're in. Navigation is available using headings, links, landmarks, and more. You can read text (including punctuation) by page, paragraph, line, word, and character as well as determine characteristics like font and text color. Efficiently review tables with row and column navigation.

    Narrator also has a navigation and reading mode called Scan Mode. Use it to get around Windows 10 using just the up and down arrows on your keyboard. You can also use a braille display to navigate your PC and read text.

    When Narrator is turned on, you can have Narrator announce (echo) typed navigation keys immediately after you type them.

    Navigation keys are used for moving around in documents or webpages and editing text. They include the arrow keys, Tab, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, and Insert.

    This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off hearing Narrator announce navigation keys as you type them in Windows 10 for your account.
