Excel - Speak on Enter

[Daps9025]

Hello,

I am running the latest version of Microsoft 365 Excel. Some how the “Speak on Enter” option is enabled. I tried to follow the customize ribbon instructions to add “Speak on Enter” to the menu to disable it, but the command is NOT in the list of All Commands. Any advice?

Thanks

You can do the following:

• Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
• Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window.
• Type or copy/paste the following line into the Immediate window:

Application.Speech.SpeakCellOnEnter = False

• With the insertion point anywhere in that line, press Enter.
• Close the Visual Basic Editor.

Speak  on Enter should now be disabled.

@Hans Vogelaar Brilliant! Was pulling my hair out on this one for about an hour. Thanks so much!

Thanks, this worked for me as well. but I'm curious: What turned it on? was it an inadvertent keystroke? What? This only started today, and wasn't active in the last 20 yrs I've been using Excel!
Any response would help, (since others have pulled out hair looking for answers as to why it occurred.

That's impossible to say. Cosmic radation? Gremlins?
