Ok, you can certainly do it all on screen with the gestures; a keyboardis a bonus, and best kept for typing I think. For sure there's less learning when doing it on screen. Not least, VO tell you the options you can try,... unless it got switched off. I never have, I like the prompting.

If you are not a JAWS user, it can be difficult to get familiar with using the keyboard for commands and learning basic gestures such as taps and flicks is a much easier way to navigate the screen. I imagine that many JAWS users can easily transform to learning Voiceover commands as they are used to navigating the keyboard with commands, but as a non JAWS user, it is a lot to learn.
