Use case

On TextField widget when setting the maxLength property the screen readers will announce how many character is left on every input, which is a bit annoying for the end user when typing a long text.

Proposal

Could this be possible to add a option to the TextField either to disable the live announcer or to change the frequency of the announcing?
