I have noticed that when I use the left and right arrow keys to move by letter 
I'm getting a lot of repetition from voiceover speaking letters that are either 
before or after the letter I'm currently on. I'm also having this problem when 
I type. There seems to be a lot of gerbil speech from voiceover speaking either 
wrong letters or too many letters.
