Hi troy.
The flicking is more of a quick short motion with one finger, while the longer slower motion is going to be for exploring the screen, which of course you can do as slowly as you want and in any direction. Again, flicking is a quick, short motion to the left to the right, up, or down. actual swiping with Talk Back is done with two fingers anyway. You will probably get a feel for how touch screens respond with practice, and this will become second nature to you. You can do this.

I got on skype for a while yesterday with Laz Mesa, the guy I bought the phone from, and I believe he said that there are 2 ways to work with a touch screen. I may've misunderstood though because I think my brain was already on overload from what little bit I tried to do on my own before we got together; if there are 2 ways to work with a touch screen though what would be the other way besides flicking or swiping? Btw somebody in this message thread told me to think of it more like flicking a piece of dust off of my screen instead of swiping, that was the exact words that Laz used to describe what to do. Now it's just learning how to do that flick successfully, I can already tell from what went on yesterday afternoon though that this is going to get quite frustrating before I finally catch on.

    Hi.
    This doesn't mean that all these buttons will be activated if you
    double tap, actually none of them will.
    The best advice i can give is don't use the swipe/flick gesture
    unless you can't find the icon by exploring the screen.
    Aside from that practice, practice, and more practice. smile.

    Hi All,
    I got my new phone today and I can already tell that my biggest
    problem is going to be learning how to swipe to activate apps and
    other things on the touch screen.  Does anybody have any useful
    tips besides just practice?
    One big problem I have is that I have a home button, a previous
    apps button, and a back button across the bottom of my screen and
    almost every time I go to hit the back button, which is the
    button on the left, all 3 buttons end up getting voiced and I
    have to try again.  I guess I have kind of a heavy-finger
    syndrome smile.
