Device, method, and graphical user interface for integrating recognition of handwriting gestures with a screen reader

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• a touch-sensitive surface;
• 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:
• while the electronic device is in a screen reader accessibility mode:
• displaying at least a portion of a web page on the display, the web page including a plurality of user interface elements;
• detecting a first navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;
• in response to detecting the first navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, navigating to a first set of one or more user interface elements of the plurality of user interface elements that corresponds to a current navigable unit type, wherein the current navigable unit type is set to a first navigable unit type selected from a plurality of predefined navigable unit types, wherein the plurality of predefined navigable unit types includes at least four different navigable unit types including the first navigable unit type, a second navigable unit type, a third navigable unit type, and a fourth navigable unit type;
• detecting a navigation setting gesture on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a respective character, wherein:
• the navigation setting gesture that corresponds to the respective character is a single finger gesture that moves across the touch-sensitive surface along a respective path that corresponds to the respective character;
• determining whether the navigation setting gesture corresponds to one of the second navigable unit type, the third navigable unit type, and the fourth navigable unit type;
• in accordance with a determination that the navigation setting gesture corresponds to the second navigable unit type of the plurality of predefined navigable unit types:
• changing the current navigable unit type from the first navigable unit type to the second navigable unit type;
• and
• outputting audible accessibility information indicating that the second navigable unit type has been selected;
• in accordance with a determination that the navigation setting gesture corresponds to the third navigable unit type of the plurality of predefined navigable unit types:
• changing the current navigable unit type from the first navigable unit type to the third navigable unit type;
• and
• outputting audible accessibility information indicating that the third navigable unit type has been selected;
• in accordance with a determination that the navigation setting gesture corresponds to the fourth navigable unit type of the plurality of predefined navigable unit types:
• changing the current navigable unit type from the first navigable unit type to the fourth navigable unit type;
• and
• outputting audible accessibility information indicating that the fourth navigable unit type has been selected;
• after changing the current navigable unit type, detecting a second navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;
• and,
• in response to detecting the second navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, navigating to a second set of one or more user interface elements of the plurality of user interface elements that corresponds to the changed current navigable unit type.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the device to:

• while the electronic device is in a screen reader accessibility mode:
• display at least a portion of a web page on the display, the web page including a plurality of user interface elements;
• detect a first navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;
• in response to detecting the first navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, navigate to a first set of one or more user interface elements of the plurality of user interface elements that corresponds to a current navigable unit type, wherein the current navigable unit type is set to a first navigable unit type selected from a plurality of predefined navigable unit types, wherein the plurality of predefined navigable unit types includes at least four different navigable unit types including the first navigable unit type, a second navigable unit type, a third navigable unit type, and a fourth navigable unit type;
• detect a navigation setting gesture on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a respective character, wherein:
• the navigation setting gesture that corresponds to the respective character is a single finger gesture that moves across the touch-sensitive surface along a respective path that corresponds to the respective character;
• determine whether the navigation setting gesture corresponds to one of the second navigable unit type, the third navigable unit type, and the fourth navigable unit type;
• in accordance with a determination that the navigation setting gesture corresponds to the second navigable unit type of the plurality of predefined navigable unit types:
• change the current navigable unit type from the first navigable unit type to the second navigable unit type;
• and
• output audible accessibility information indicating that the second navigable unit type has been selected;
• in accordance with a determination that the navigation setting gesture corresponds to the third navigable unit type of the plurality of predefined navigable unit types:
• change the current navigable unit type from the first navigable unit type to the third navigable unit type;
• and
• output audible accessibility information indicating that the third navigable unit type has been selected;
• in accordance with a determination that the navigation setting gesture corresponds to the fourth navigable unit type of the plurality of predefined navigable unit types:
• change the current navigable unit type from the first navigable unit type to the fourth navigable unit type;
• and
• output audible accessibility information indicating that the fourth navigable unit type has been selected
• after changing the current navigable unit type, detect a second navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface;
• and,
• in response to detecting the second navigation gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, navigate to a second set of one or more user interface elements of the plurality of user interface elements that corresponds to the changed current navigable unit type.
