Talking over people usually means raising your voice to be heard over instead of someone else. So in a loud restaurant, you would "talk over" the noise of the crows by speaking louder. Or, if you were in an arguement and you interrupted the other person and raised your voice to be heard instead of them, you would be "talking over" them

Talking over people means that you are talking above your listeners level of comprehension. In other words, "what you have said went right over the top of their head" as the saying goes.
