Microsoft is has been busy with Windows 11. It seems like every other day, the company has a new build with some interesting features. The latest Dev channel build adds more natural-sounding voices to the Narrator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22543 to the Dev Channel is available now, and the most significant change is the improvements to Narrator. If you rely on it to help you navigate around the operating system, the\u00a0more natural voices will be helpful.<\/p>\n

\u201cNatural Narrator voices use modern, on-device text to speech and once downloaded are supported without an internet connection,\u201d said Microsoft in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first two voices are called \u201cJenny\u201d and \u201cAria,\u201d and they\u2019re available for the launch of the feature. When prompted, you\u2019ll need to install the new voices, and the process is quick and painless.<\/p>\n

Further improving Narrator are new keyboard commands. It\u2019ll be\u00a0easier to switch between voices to better support everyday tasks.<\/p>\n

Also in this update are some visual tweaks, including\u00a0an update to the media controls which appear on the Lock screen<\/a> when playing music in a supported app. It also changes how resizing app windows in snap layouts works by overlaying the relevant app icon on top of the acrylic background.<\/p>\n

The other changes with this build are small, but if you\u2019re a Windows 11 user, you\u2019ll definitely appreciate them when they come to the final Windows 11 release.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
