Voice Control won't hide numbers

When I click on a menu while voice control is awake, every item on the menu has a number beside it. When I say " hide numbers" they go off for about a half second and then come back on.

It would be best if they didn't show at all until I said "Show numbers." Is there a way to make that happen?

If that's not possible, it seems they should stay hidden for more than a half second while you're looking at the menu.

I'm using Catalina 13.3.1

Thanks,

Hey Russell, have you tried the command “hide numbers continuously”

Or if you open up System Preferences > Accessibility > Voice Control… and check what Overlay is set to.

There you can set it to None, Item Numbers and Numbered Grid.

I am on macOS Monterey and not sure if it's the same.

But maybe playing around with that would help.

I put voice control in the command mode and said, “hide numbers continuously.”

I had already set the voice control overlay to none.

But I still get numbers beside every drop-down menu item.

This is a big deal, but one would think the controls would work.
