Speach Zoom with VoiceOver in Big Sur

Low Vision Accessibility on Apple Products

For those who use Zoom in conjunction with VoiceOver.
Isn't it annoying to hear the zoom type vocalized along with VoiceOver?
1.1x, 1.2x, 1.3x, etc?
Has anyone found a way to disable this?
I have already reported this behavior problem to Apple.

Some update to Big Sur put this setting in a checkbox: VO Utility, Verbosity, Announcements. The Big Sur update also set this to unchecked by default, thus restoring the old behavior.

voiceover is assuming your blind so thats why its reading whats on the screen. i only just got a computer that even capable of running big sur so ill figure out all the little oddities in due course. and that thing about the window that appears and disappears sounds like a bug.
