This guide will help you easily add or remove Natural Voices for the Narrator feature in Windows 11. Narrator is a built-in tool that reads out text and other items on your screen. It’s especially helpful if you have trouble seeing or reading on your computer.

What is Narrator?

Narrator is a screen reader that comes with Windows. It reads text, buttons, links, and other things aloud so you can use your PC without looking at the screen.

Windows 11 has made Narrator better. Now, it can help you send emails, browse websites, write documents, and more.

What Are Natural Voices?

Narrator offers two types of voices:

• Legacy voices: Older and less clear voices.
• Natural voices: Newer, clearer voices that sound more like real people.

Natural voices use advanced technology to sound better and work even if you’re not connected to the internet.
