How to make VoiceOver read out a different text than what's in the UITextView?

I have a UITextView containing a text that is meant for sighted users. I want to add a different non-sighted user-friendly text that will be read-out when VoiceOver is on. I tried adding it as an accessibilityLabel, but VoiceOver read both text. How can I make it read out just the accessible text when VoiceOver is on?
