Hi David. Good point. I'm wondering though, do you know what the
official terminology should be used when you do a bypass swipe gesture,
like when you delete something? We always say, double-tap and hold, wait
for the tri-tone, and then swipe to the right. A sighted person not
using Voice Over simply swipes to the right, which is used to delete
something. So, is it called a swipe then? Somehow double-tap and hold,
then flick to the right doesn't seem right because swiping and flicking
are technically different actions outside the realm of the iPhone.

Hello all,
Occasionally, discussions arise on what the difference is between a flick and a
swipe. I went to the source, the iPhone manual, and read the VoiceOver gesture
section to learn the official difference.
According to the iPhone manual, the gesture is a flick. there is no gesture
called a swipe. Therefore, flick is the name of the quick finger movement.
Swipe is a word used by some people attempting to explain what a flick is. In
other words, there is no difference between the two words, and flick is the
official, and only, word Apple officially uses to name the gesture.
