Hi there. All joking aside, it seems like you have such a low expectation of how to use the iPhone, or that using the iPhone is very difficult. If you can double tap one button with one finger, and you can do a two finger double tap, then you can use dictation. If this is an acrobatic type of gesture then that is up to you to decide. Please know that I mean no offense. I do not know if you have any sort of dexterity problems which would make certain gestures very difficult to perform. However most things with the iPhone are very easy to do. I also realize of course that what I might term as an easy gesture might be difficult for someone else. For example, I find it kind of difficult to perform a four finger tap on the upper part of the screen or a four finger tap on the lower part of the screen to move to the first or last element respectively. I forget what this gesture was to do this type of command in the past, but I do remember it being a lot easier for me. There are some people who have no problems doing this for finger gesture though, so that is why I say that some gestures might be easy for some and not for others.
