Hi James, The issue here is not of being informed whenever you get to a typo as such: the frustration is in that prior to Safari 5.1, Voiceover used to tell you of a spelling error during editing and not during reading of the message.
Also, the issues about Voiceover not giving feedback whenever you are entering text on web pages. I think only us here on Snow Leopard are experiencing this. Just like Justin, I will also send them a message informing them of this bug.
