I'm currently tasked with taking our existing application and making it play nice with VoiceOver.
Among other things our application can enter a mode to record the screen. This involves creating over a dozen little floating windows (one for each handle, some are less than 200 square pixels).
But each time we create (or hide and then re-show) one of these windows, VoiceOver helpfully announces: "X has new window".
Is there a way to reduce these notifications? I've looked in VoiceOver Utility for settings I can tweak without success. Or is there a flag we can set on our windows to indicate that VoiceOver doesn't need to announce their visibility?
(The components inside the window are well-behaved accessible components.)

Anouncement "has new window"
I haven't found a way to change this anouncement. It can be very annoiing and so the only way is probably to send a request to accessibility@apple.com.
