the other method works like this, if you are moving to the right, vo reads the
character you have just passed and positions its self between that and the
character to the right of it. if you are moving to the left, vo reads the
character you pass over and the cursor is positioned between that character and
the one to its left. Over all, I find this to be much more efficient and I
come from many years of stumbling through windows.

Thanks for pointing out the setting in the VO preferences. I selected the
option to read the character to the right of the cursor. This is working well
for me till I figure out how the other method is supposed to work.

I call it the curse of the cursers. the curser speaks what it is about
to step on rather then what's in front of it. I do use both methods on the mac
and this can be configured in vo prefs accessed through vo f8.
As to interaction I type and then interact to see if what I typed is 99
percent accurate. lol.
I hope this helps.
