Information technology — Gesture-based interfaces across devices and methods — Part 61: Single-point gestures for screen readers
This document defines single-point gestures for screen readers. It specifies movements for clear and classified single-point gestures recognized by the screen readers. It describes single-point gestures performed by a POI (point of interest). The single-point gestures are intended to operate in a consistent manner regardless of systems, platforms, applications or devices. NOTE A POI can be manipulated by using an object such as a fingertip, a stylus, etc.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that
are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of
technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also
take part in the work.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the

Introduction
Screen readers are regarded as a default method of accessing ICT devices for people with visual
impairments who are unable to see and understand the screens of these devices. The content on the
screens, such as letters, words, numbers, punctuation, elements and so on, are spoken out loud by screen
readers. Speakers or headphones connected to the ICT device become the main output components.
Single-point gestures are used for screen readers of several commercially available ICT devices
including smart phones, PCs and so on. Potential variety and inconsistency among the single-point
gestures might cause a serious accessibility problem for people with visually impairments. There is
a strong need for international standards to define the single-point gesture so that visually impaired
users do not get confused while they use ICT devices.
The functions of the screen readers include reading an item under the user’s finger, pausing/resuming
speech, speaking the location of the user’s fingers on a screen, such as page numbers or rows, and so on.
