Okay, thanks to this post by Kevin Thorne - https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/how-to-edit-player-tooltips-to-match-custom-player-text-labels - I was able to find how to edit the labels.

Hi Lesley!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing a workaround! We do have the ability to disable the player tooltips logged as a feature request. I've added your comments to the report so we can update you if this makes it on our roadmap.
