Why is my sim suddenly speaking to me?

[Brian_Gladden]

Don't know if it's something new in an update or something I turned on by mistake. Suddenly an AI Voice is describing everything my mouse comes across. It's annoying as hell and how do I turn it off???

Try moving the cursor over a female co-pilot. If it says "Hi Cutie" I'd keep it.... LOL... Seriously, I hope you figure it out, that would drive me daft too. I do wonder if a "visual assist" setting has been turned on though, as it would be for visually impaired.

Found it. Accessibility/Enable screen Narrator. No clue how that got turned on....

The AI Overlords determined that you needed "a good talking-to!"

Was it a female voice??

Alexa!

I wish... Just a very male sounding artificial voice... I was saying things like 50% loaded, and repeated everything the tool tips said...

I believe MS is working over WIN11 to make it... more like WIN10.
My sim is running stupidly badly as well.

50% loaded? That could be me, just not today!

Settings\Accessibility\Narration and Audio -> Enable Screen Narrator to 'OFF' . . . . unless you like it . . . .
