Math mode reads most mathematical symbols. It is a punctuation-reading setting, not a choice of voice or speaking speed. Microsoft lists five punctuation modes:
#1 Best Overall
- Connectivity: Includes WiFi, Bluetooth, and LAN for wireless and wired connections
- Memory: Features 16GB DDR4 RAM for smooth multitasking and performance
- Storage: Combines 500GB SSD and 1TB HDD for ample storage space
- Graphics: Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 for crisp visuals and video playback
- Design: Sleek desktop tower with black color and slim profile for modern look
- Default: Speaks little or no punctuation.
- Math: Reads most mathematical symbols.
- Some: Reads common conversational punctuation.
- Most: Includes additional symbols, such as parentheses.
- All: Reads all punctuation and special symbols.
Change voice, speed, or other speech behavior
If by “speech style” you mean the voice or the way Narrator speaks more generally, open Narrator settings with Windows logo key + Ctrl + N. These controls are separate from the Math punctuation mode. Microsoft’s customization guide describes the available options.
- Voice: Choose among the voices available on the device.
- Speed: Adjust the rate in Narrator settings, or press Narrator + + to increase it and Narrator + - to decrease it.
- Pitch and volume: Adjust them in Narrator settings. Narrator + Ctrl + + or - changes volume; pressing Ctrl stops current speech.
- Verbosity and reading detail: Settings include controls for verbosity, capitalization, formatted text, phonetic character reading, and punctuation pauses. Some options are unavailable with a natural voice.
Available voices vary with language and which voices are installed. Microsoft explains how to add language voices in its supported languages and voices guide; a particular voice may not be available on every device.
