Oops. If memory serves me well, I heard in the hints in iBooks to swipe up 
to adjust the value. Actually I wanted to know if it was possible to enter a 
page number mannually in Ibooks to reach that page quickly.

Swiping is going from left to right or vice versa.

Re: flick and swipe

2012-08-24 Thread David Chittenden
Hello,

First, flick and swipe is the same thing.

Yes, it is possible to jump pages in iBooks, but it is a little difficult. 
Remember, touch-screens are set up for sighted people. Visually, the page 
selector at the bottom of the screen is a horizontal slider. A sighted person 
touches that slider in the approximate position representing the percentage 
through the book. The person then slides their finger slowly to get the page to 
the one they require.

For a blind person using VoiceOver, there are two methods for accomplishing the 
same thing.

1) when you find the page selector, use up and down flicks to move the page one 
page at a time. Use a double-tap to move the page selector ahead a small 
percentage of pages at a time, but this only moves the pages forward.

2) If you find the page selector rather than flicking to it with horizontal 
flicks, use the double tap and hold passthrough gesture with one finger and 
wait for the triple ascending tones. After the tones, the slider will work the 
way it does for sighted people. Very small movements can move lots of pages 
(depending on the size of the book). Each time the finger is still for a little 
while, VO will speak the number of the page currently selected. Sometimes, the 
page is not announced until the finger is lifted. In this case, another double 
tap and hold is necessary to continue this method of page change.

Note: this is also how one can quickly go through the letters with the vertical 
selector in the contacts app, the various iPod media players, and any other app 
selector which is accessible. It is necessary to know if the selector is 
vertical or horizontal to use the second method. I figure this out by exploring 
the screen.

Re: flick and swipe

2012-08-23 Thread David Chittenden
Flick and swipe are the same thing. It is a short to medium length movement 
which is rapid and in a specific direction. A slide, on the other hand, which 
is a normal gesture, is a slower but consistent speed movement along a line 
across the iOS device.
