Accessibility Remove Narrator Natural Voices in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to remove (uninstall) Narrator natural voices for your account in Windows 11.

Narrator is a screen reader included with Windows 11 that describes what's on your screen. Narrator lets you use your PC without a mouse to complete common tasks if you’re blind or have low vision. It reads and interacts with things on the screen, like text and buttons. Use Narrator to read and write email, browse the internet, and work with documents.

Narrator can use installed legacy and natural voices.

Legacy voices are not always great to listen to. Especially for cases when you may want to read an article or extended text.

Natural voices use modern, on-device text to speech and once downloaded are supported without an internet connection.

You can remove (uninstall) Narrator natural voices when no longer wanted to free up drive space.


EXAMPLE: Added natural voices available to choose for Narrator




Here's How:

1 Open Windows Terminal, and select Windows Powershell.

2 Copy and paste the command below into Windows Terminal, and press Enter to see a list of all currently installed natural voices for your account. (see screenshot below step 3)


3 Make note of the PackageFullName (ex: "MicrosoftWindows.Voice.en-US.Jenny.1_1.0.8.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy") for the natural voice Name (ex: "Jenny") you want to remove (uninstall). (see screenshot below)


4 Type the command below into Windows Terminal, and press Enter to uninstall the natural voice. (see screenshot below)

Substitute PackageFullName in the command above with the actual PackageFullName (ex: "MicrosoftWindows.Voice.en-US.Jenny.1_1.0.8.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy") from step 3.

For example:
Remove-AppxPackage -Package "MicrosoftWindows.Voice.en-US.Jenny.1_1.0.8.0_x64__cw5n1h2txyewy"

5 When finished, you can close Windows Terminal if you like.
