    So I am running W10, version 1803 on an HP Pavilion.  This read aloud occurs mostly in email - AOL.  In fact, I would say it is 100% email.  I could be wrong and will pay more attention, but it has not occurred while typing this message.  It is a nightmare.  I have gone to ease of use and it is shut off.  I also unchecked the block about letting a short cut turn it on.  Obviously some glitch.  I do not know what triggers it, but I do type pretty quickly and either this device or this software is permitting some keystroke to trigger the read aloud function.  

    Sometimes I am not able to shut it off.  This can't be true that I have to live with this.  Sometimes, it seems that using the windows key with enter stops it but more often than not, nothing stops it.  I do not believe this was occurring when I bought this machine in May, so it must have been after some update.

    This is ridiculous! It should not be on the pulldown for Cut, Copy, Paste. Make it a setting change. I just hit it accidently and now IT WON'T STOP. IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE.

    FIX IT OR OFFER A WORKAROUND NOW!
