I added the Speak command to my quick access tool bar, did some stuff with it looking for a solution to a query.

Okay, I'm done with the Speak so I removed the Speak command from the quick access tool bar.

The voice still speaks when I hit enter on a cell, voicing the contents.

Tried the "Speak On - Speak Off" command, and did not help. No toggle affect at all.

I have no Speak icons on any tool bar that I can find and the speak continues.

If I add a new workbook, it speak there also so it seems to be an Excel setting somewhere. I looked in the Options windows.

Closed Excel and reopened... What to do??

Hi Claus,

I tried these two methods, neither worked.

€¢Press the Windows logo key îž‚ + Enter together to start Narrator. Press these keys again to stop Narrator. On many keyboards, the Windows logo key is located on the bottom row of keys, to the left or right of the Alt key.

€¢Select the Start îž‚ button, then select Settings , select Ease of Access, select Narrator, and then move the slider under Narrator to turn it on.
(both settings are in the OFF position)

How I got Speak to start working on the workbook, was to add a Speak Command to the quick access bar.

I then removed it from the quick access tool bar but the speak (or narrator) is somehow still enabled.

I have exited Excel and re entered Excel, can't get free from it.

I also tried the "Speak Cells - Stop Speak Cells" command on the quick access tool bar.

It say it is a toggle to start speak / stop speak. I click on it in the tool bar and it has no affect.

It seems that using 'Speak Cells' to start narration can be turned off
with 'Speak Cells - Stop Speaking Cells'! The latter is not a toggle,
although its name unwittingly implies that!

Hi Garry,

How does 'Speak Cells - Stop Speaking Cells' work? I can put the Icon on the quick access tool bar, but it does nothing that I can tell when I click on it.

I have floundered about with some feature where I wind up with a blue rectangle encompassing a portion of the worksheet, and instructing me to use certain keys strokes in conjunction each other, none of which affected anything that I could detect.

Howard

If you use this a lot you can assign a keyboard shortcut to this sub so
you don't have to mouse the icon...

Sub Toggle_SpeakOnEnter()
With Application.Speech
.SpeakOnEnter = Not .SpeakOnEnter
End With 'Application.Speech
End Sub 'Toggle_SpeakOnEnter

I use Ctrl+Shift+N

Oops.., typo...

Sub Toggle_SpeakOnEnter()
With Application.Speech
.SpeakCellOnEnter = Not .SpeakCellOnEnter
End With 'Application.Speech
End Sub 'Toggle_SpeakOnEnter

I actually don't use it very much. But this should be a good snippet when I do.

Thanks.
