All of a Sudden his Computer Started Talking

No, it was not a flash site on his browser and it wasn't any type of audio file or movie. He was typing a document and sometimes when he does this hell hit wrong keys which is what he did this time. It turns out that some versions of Windows have a utility called Narrator which is for people who don't have great eyesight, when activated the computer will tell you about menu options on the program you are working in or if you are in your email client it can read you the subjects of the email you received.

It would be nice if you could change the tone of the voice to maybe a female of something else but at this time that is not an option. I tried having it read an ebook that was a PDF format but then the PDF file had to have some type of tagging in it in order for the Microsoft narrator to be able to read it.

Later in the day I went to a shopping center to get a good cup of coffee and I decided to stop at Circuit City. On all the computers I pressed the keys you need to press to activate the Microsoft narrator and all of a sudden they were all talking which drove the salespeople nuts. In order to activate this feature on your computer press the key Start and then at the same time press the 'U' key.

There is even a way to have it only speak at certain times so that its not constantly speaking because that voice could get annoying at times.
