You can see it in a video attached here how does this feature workwhich allows the magnification area to follow you as you type without you having to move it in any way and everything is automatic.
Note that the scrolling of the window at the moment is not what we would like, but knowing that is in development as it appears in DP2 of Android 13, we can understand that it still needs an adjustment or another so that the experience is adequate.
Before and after
The free Android
