The below message asks a very important question.  You have spoken of
Narrator.  Does Narrator have the speech you want and is it the same
speech you hear at the logon screen?  If you only hear it at the logon
screen, it appears to be Cortana, based on the below message.


I don't have Windows 10 and I don't know what Cortana may be set to do.
But speech from digital assistants is much better than speech from
screen-readers.  It is speech from the cloud and is much more powerful
in the computing power that drives it and much more sophisticated than
synthesizers on personal computers.


I suspect a lot of people would want such speech, if they could get it,
for their screen[-readers.


But at this point, the most important question is, does Narrator use
that speech in general when you are using it or do you hear it at the
welcome screen and not when you use Narrator elsewhere? You have spoken
repeatedly of NVDA using one voice for a moment than changing to another
voice.  NVDA never does this,  Whatever speech you are hearing isn't NVDA.

Hi,

As you mention what is spoken at the welcome screen, is this only when
you boot up your machine and, if so, might this be Cortana?

Thank you for all this. I am going to search in to this, just to see

or any one of a scad of tutorials that focus strictly on changing

Narrator that should be done on the Chat Subgroup, as it's not
NVDA related in any way.*
