One finger swipe up or down
In general, a one finger swipe up or down adjusts the accessibility volume up or down. When an adjustable item is highlighted, the swipe changes the actual value of the highlighted item instead.
-
Two fingers swipe up or down, or turn the bezel: scroll upward or downward
Users can scroll up or down screens by swiping upward or downward with two fingers.
As with the one finger swipe, the highlight remains fixed at the center.
When the scroll reaches the end, the device reads the highlighted control.
Note: During scrolling, the highlight does not move.
When the highlighted control disappears after the user swipes up or down with two fingers, the highlight moves to the next or previous control, and the device reads out loud.
When all controls are out of the screen, the device highlights and reads the first or last control in the content area of the current screen.
-
Two fingers swipe left and right: Change pages and screens
Swipe left or right anywhere on the screen with two fingers to move to the previous or next page.

By default, the highlight appears on the UI element at the top left corner of the uppermost screen layer and moves from left to right and from top to bottom.
The highlight’s horizontal movement takes priority over the vertical one.

Speak rules
Voice feedback for control
Voice feedback for control describes the currently selected (highlighted) control. Voice feedback is provided based on each property’s setting. Each control has its own description, which consists of four properties:
- Label (Name): Component label (for example, buttons labeled with OK or CANCEL).
- Traits (Role): Component type (for example, a button component).
- State: Component value or status (for example, disabled status).
- Optional attributes (Description): An explanation of the component (for example, “this button closes the application” for the Close button).
- When a control is highlighted, the device automatically reads a description of the highlighted control out loud. If the highlight is then moved, the voice description stops.
- A control is not required to provide content for optional attributes if they do not apply to the control. For example, a control that does not perform an action does not need to provide a description.
- A control provides information for the optional attributes only when the control’s contents are changeable and cannot be described by the label.
Voice feedback for control
Voice feedback for control describes the results of all types of actions.
- Task performed by user: Describes a changed setting value, pressed hardware keys, and if an item has been moved.
- Event interrupted by system or application: Notification or message from the system or applications.
