How to Change the Narrator Voice in Windows 11

If you use the Narrator in Windows 11, you can make it sound just the way you like. You can change its voice, how fast it talks, pitch (how high or low the voice sounds), and volume.

The Narrator app is a tool built into Windows that reads aloud what’s on your screen. It helps people who have trouble seeing or reading text on their screen. Narrator can read things like text, links, and buttons. You can use it to do many tasks like browsing the web or writing emails.

If you don’t like the voice it uses, you can add new natural voices that sound more clear and smooth on Windows 11.
