Every time I select text in Sequoia, I hear VoiceOver announce, "Writing Tools in Action menu." Is there any way to disable that announcement? For 99% of the times that I select text, I'm planning to do something other than run an AI check on my selection, and for the remaining 1%, I can figure it out. The announcement serves only to derail my train of thought and disrupt my workflow.
I already have VoiceOver verbosity set to Low.
Any help would be appreciated.

Turn off Apple Intelligence
It feels like a sledgehammer solution, but the only way to disable this message seems to be to turn off Apple Intelligence and restart. I'll hope this message goes away in a future Sequoia release.
Still present in 15.1.1
I didn't really expect a security release to address this problem, so no real surprise.
I did take the time to send an email to accessibility@apple.com and ask for help with eliminating this extraneous and distracting announcement. Hopefully they have a solution, or can get the developers to address the problem.
Yes this is indeed…
Yes this is indeed distracting.
