Hello Andy, You can change the way the insertion point works to be more like JAWS in VoiceOver Utility, Verbosity, Text, When moving the cursor: click the button and select Speak text to the right of the cursor.
Personally, I like the standard Mac way of doing things which is that the insertion point is to the right of what you just heard when navigating to the right, and to the left of what you just heard when navigating to the left. This seems logical to me.
