Turning off narrator
Fred Adams
I am using W 10, jaws 2019 and
chrome browser and can not find way to turn off narrator. About 10 days ago I had a computer crash that took out everything pretty much except some files and folders. With Microsoft handicap help I have about 75 percent back to normal. In helping me the technician used narrator and NVDA but failed to turn off narrator after finishing. When I boot up or shutdown the computer narrator doubles with jaws and I can not find setting to turn off narrator. If someone could tell me how to do this I would greatly appreciate it. I have gone through the Ease of access settings but found nothing. I never use narrator so I am not very familiar with it. Will appreciate any help. Thanks much, FRED C.

Hi Fred,
Try the keystroke, Control, Windows key + Enter. This
keystroke is a toggle so it'll turn Narrator on & off.
Take Care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.

Hi Fred,
Can you, Alt + Tab, to find the Narrator Settings
window? If you can, down arrow to, General , change how Narrator
starts...button, and press the spacebar. Now tab and check or uncheck the
options as to how you want them. If Jaws is getting in the way try the
following. Press, Insert + 3, on the number row, this is the pass through
keystroke, and press, Insert + F4, to turn off Jaws. Once you have Jaws
turned off it might be easier to find the Narrator settings window.
Take Care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool.
