What I said is that when you set an alarm with Siri, it defaults to snooze.
You can open the clock app, select alarm, and edit the alarm to turn the snooze

The PenFriend 2 is a great product, but you need someone to tell you what the
item is before you can record your label.
If you don’t have a sighted person around, the apps previously mentioned would
work, or you could use Be My Eyes and always have a sighted volunteer to read
you the label.
A quick fix is to use the label element gesture.
