Devices, methods, and graphical user interfaces for accessibility using a touch-sensitive surface

Abstract

An accessibility method is performed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface. The method includes: displaying a first section of a document on the display, where the document has a plurality of sections that includes the first section of the document; outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the first section of the document; and detecting a first finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface. The method also includes, in response to detecting the first finger gesture, ceasing to display the first section of the document; displaying a second section of the document on the display, where the second section of the document is adjacent to the first section of the document; and outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the second section of the document.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a touch-sensitive surface;   a display;   one or more processors;   memory; and   one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 displaying a first section of a document on the display, wherein the document has a plurality of sections that includes the first section of the document; 
 outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the first section of the document; 
 detecting a first finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface; and 
 in response to detecting the first finger gesture:
 ceasing to display the first section of the document; 
 displaying a second section of the document on the display, wherein the second section of the document is adjacent to the first section of the document; and 
 outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the second section of the document. 
 
   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the display is a touch screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on the display. 
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the first finger gesture includes multiple concurrent finger contacts on the touch-sensitive surface. 
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the audible document section indicia includes one or more words outputted as spoken text that provide navigation information about a currently displayed section of the document. 
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 detecting a second finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface while displaying the second section of the document; and   in response to detecting the second finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface:
 ceasing to display the second section of the document; 
 displaying a third section of the document on the display, wherein the third section of the document is adjacent to the second section of the document; and 
 outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the third section of the document. 
   
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein the audible document section indicia that corresponds to the third section of the document includes one or more words outputted as spoken text that corresponds to the third section of the document. 
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 detecting a third finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface while displaying the third section of the document, wherein the third finger gesture is in a direction substantially opposite the second finger gesture; and   in response to detecting the third finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface:
 ceasing to display the third section of the document; 
 redisplaying the second section of the document on the display; and 
 outputting the audible document section indicia that corresponds to the second section of the document. 
   
     
     
         9 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
 displaying a first section of a document on the display, wherein the document has a plurality of sections that includes the first section of the document;   outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the first section of the document;   detecting a first finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface; and   in response to detecting the first finger gesture:
 ceasing to display the first section of the document; 
 displaying a second section of the document on the display, wherein the second section of the document is adjacent to the first section of the document; and 
 outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the second section of the document. 
   
     
     
         10 . A method, comprising:
 at an electronic device having a touch-sensitive surface and a display:
 displaying a first section of a document on the display, wherein the document has a plurality of sections that includes the first section of the document; 
 outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the first section of the document; 
 detecting a first finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface; and 
 in response to detecting the first finger gesture:
 ceasing to display the first section of the document; 
 displaying a second section of the document on the display, wherein the second section of the document is adjacent to the first section of the document; and 
 outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the second section of the document.
