It sounds like your confused over using Siri or gestures. Gestures do not require the use of Siri. Siri can perform many tasks just by asking her. For example, you can ask Siri to words. She can do it faster then you could. You could ask her how far is it from New York to Chicago. Siri is great at that kind of thing.
Gestures would be used for example you didn't hear what Siri said when you asked her how far is it from New York City to Chicago by flicking 2 fingers up from about the center of the screen toward the top. If you have characters set in the rotor for example, you could put your finger on the word Chicago and then flick 1 finger down on the word Chicago and hear C H I C A G O every time you flicked that finger down.
