Customize verbosity in VoiceOver on Mac
By default, VoiceOver provides a high level of detail to help new Mac and VoiceOver users.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier. See Use the VoiceOver modifier.
Open VoiceOver Utility (press VO-F8 when VoiceOver is on), click the Verbosity category, then click Speech or Braille (if you use a refreshable braille display).
Choose a different default setting, and a verbosity level for specific controls, such as checkboxes or scroll areas.
Thanks for your feedback.
