Abstract: An accessibility method is performed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface. The method includes: displaying a first section of a document on the display, where the document has a plurality of sections that includes the first section of the document; outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the first section of the document; and detecting a first finger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface. The method also includes, in response to detecting the first finger gesture, ceasing to display the first section of the document; displaying a second section of the document on the display, where the second section of the document is adjacent to the first section of the document; and outputting an audible document section indicia that corresponds to the second section of the document.

Abstract: An accessibility method is performed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface. The method includes: displaying a plurality of user interface elements on the display; in response to detecting a first user interface navigation gesture by a finger on the touch-sensitive surface, navigating in the plurality of user interface elements in accordance with a current navigable unit type; in response to detecting a first user interface navigation setting gesture on the touch-sensitive surface: changing the current navigable unit type from the first navigable unit type to a second navigable unit type; and outputting accessibility information about the second navigable unit type; after changing the current navigable unit type, in response to detecting a second user interface navigation gesture by the finger on the touch-sensitive surface, navigating in the plurality of user interface elements in accordance with the current navigable unit type.

Abstract: Techniques for improved text-to-speech processing are disclosed. The improved text-to-speech processing can convert text from an electronic document into an audio output that includes speech associated with the text as well as audio contextual cues. One aspect provides audio contextual cues to the listener when outputting speech (spoken text) pertaining to a document. The audio contextual cues can be based on an analysis of a document prior to a text-to-speech conversion. Another aspect can produce an audio summary for a file. The audio summary for a document can thereafter be presented to a user so that the user can hear a summary of the document without having to process the document to produce its spoken text via text-to-speech conversion.

Abstract: An electronic device with a touch screen display is provided. Content in a user interface is displayed at a first magnification, and in response to detecting a first multi-finger gesture on the touch screen display (e.g., a three-finger tap gesture), a first portion of the content is magnified to a second magnification, greater than the first magnification. Further, while displaying the first portion of the content in the user interface at the second magnification, the device may detect a second multi-finger gesture on the touch screen display (e.g., movement of a three-finger contact on the display). In response to this movement, the device performs panning the user interface, so that a second portion of the content, different from the first portion, is displayed on the touch screen at the second magnification.

Abstract: A first electronic device is configured to operate in a restricted mode of operation, which restricted mode may be terminated or continued by one or more remotely located authorization devices, according to predetermined criteria. In a restricted mode, a first set of permitted applications stored on the first electronic device are executable, and a first set of data is accessible. While operating in the restricted mode, the first device detects a termination condition of the restricted mode and transmits an indication of the termination condition to one or more authorization devices. After transmitting the request, the first electronic devices receives an indication that the restricted mode of the operation has been continued according to predetermined criteria. Responsive to receiving the indication, the first electronic device continues to operate in the restricted mode according to the predetermined criteria.

Abstract translation: 公开了用于改进的文本到语音处理的技术。 改进的文本到语音处理可将文本从电子文档转换成包括与文本相关联的语音以及音频语境线索的音频输出。 当输出与文档有关的语音（口头文本）时，一个方面提供了听众的音频上下文提示。 音频语境提示可以基于文本到语音转换之前的文档的分析。 另一方面可以为文件生成音频摘要。 此后可以将文档的音频摘要呈现给用户，使得用户可以听到文档的摘要，而无需处理文档以经由文本到语音转换来产生其口语文本。
