If you don't want "read only" to be announced, then remove the readonly attribute.
The screen reader is doing exactly what it is supposed to be doing. If a visually impaired user is using your website, and they're using VoiceOver to access it, and the put their focus on the field, if they don't hear "read only", how will they know that they can't type in that field?
