Hi everyone
Where on Mac can I change settings for the VoiceOver cursor, so VoiceOver announce information when I editing text as screen readers do on Windows?
On https://www.applevis.com/blog/debunking-common-myths-about-voiceover-mac
I can read the following under "Text navigation":
As to the cursor, it is true that VoiceOver speaks what it is passing. What people tend to forget is that this is actually how the cursor works for the sighted world, and once you get used to it, it makes a whole lot more sense than the Windows way. As you arrow right, say character by character, VoiceOver speaks the characters. Since you are moving right, you know that each character you hear is to the left of the cursor; if you press delete, the character you just heard will be erased. If you move back to the left, you know that what you hear is to the right of the cursor. This way, you are always aware of where you are in relation to your text. It takes a bit of getting used to, but it really is more efficient once you master it. Plus, if you simply can't get it, you can change VoiceOver to work the way Windows screen readers announce text".

Thanks in advance for your answer, and have a nice day.
