I'm seeing this same issue when using NVDA with React and Material UI. The components on their demo page show this behavior. https://material-ui.com/components/dialogs/

I have observed that verbosity can be reduced if 'Automatic Say All on page load' is unchecked under 'Browse Mode' preferences. This leads me to believe that NVDA is treating the dialog as a new document.

There may be three things affecting what is announced when a dialog is opened:

1. The 'Automatic say all on page load' config option (as stated above).
2. If the element with role="dialog" is named.
3. Where and when programmatic focus is placed after the dialog is opened.

Some of these are in the author's control, some in the users, and there may still be room for NVDA to provide a less verbose experience by default.

Hi, I came across the same issue and believe I have a possible solution to avoid the verbose narration. Let me know what you think. Please test and review my code with NVDA.

Observed the same behaviour with NVDA on chrome. But updating the NVDA settings worked in my case. Under Browse mode, uncheck the two options "Enable Browse mode on page load" and "Automatic Say All on page load". This reduced the announcement to be made only once whenever modal appears. Don't know if it is the right thing for Screen reader users to uncheck these options
