Windows 11 Narrator’s Advanced Reading feature gives you much more detail about what’s on your screen.

Narrator is Windows’ built-in tool that reads out text and tells you about buttons and other items, helping people who can’t see the screen easily. The Advanced Reading option makes Narrator share extra information, like font sizes or precise color codes.

You turn this detailed mode on by changing a setting called “Advanced Details” within Narrator itself. This setting provides a deeper look at on-screen elements for a more thorough description.

⚡ Quick Answer

Open Settings, go to Accessibility, then Narrator. Scroll to the Verbosity section and toggle “Read advanced details, like help text, on buttons and other controls” to On or Off.
