But I need the display to sleep on my computer. This is a MacBook Pro, and I 
don't want to drain the battery.

Shouldn't VoiceOver only make such an announcement when the screen saver comes 
on? Maybe VoiceOver talking interrupts the screen saver?

set your screen saver time out to never oops!

I've noticed that VoiceOver will, about every 2 minutes, repeat the current 
window or focus when I leave the computer unattended.

For example, if I'm in the finder with the focus on the Macintosh HD icon, 
every two minutes or so, VoiceOver will automatically say

finder, desktop, Macintosh HD, selected item.

This will happen over and over and over again.

This is on a new MacBook Pro. I have hardly any 3rd party software installed. 
Do I have an incorrect setting? Could this maybe have something to do with some 
sort of energy saver or screen saver stuff?
