I've seen this occasionally if you've opened a dialog box, such as
open or save. Once the dialog closes Voiceover can stop reading. It
doesn't happen often enough for me to find a pattern, but it always
happens after a dialog closes. The only way I've found to make it work
agai is to turn voiceover off and back on.
Another possibility is that you have a window covering the text area,
try hiding all other apps with command-option-h. Also, make sure
cursor tracking is on, in particular make sure the keyboard and
Voiceover cursors are tracking one another. If they aren't you may not
actually be focused in the edit area though the VO cursor is there.

Hi list. I'm in textedit and I've tried this in other text editing
programs and voiceover while interacting with the text areas will
not read letre by letre while using arow keys by them selves. Does
anyone no why vo is being stupid now and not before. Thanks for any
answers.
