Interesting that she located the elements by tapping on the screen at certain positions, instead of using the left/right swipe _anywhere_ on the screen, which selects and reads the previous/next element.

Having seen a lot of these videos before (we've been working on making apps truly accessible), I never actually came across someone who didn't use the left/right swipe as a first plan of action, but hey ho, you always learn.

(I wonder if it depends on mental models, and whether you prefer building a 2D map of the screen to moving up and down in a 1-dimensional vector.)

I usually use left/right flicks for screens I haven't interacted with before, but I use taps to find elements I use often, particularly when they're easy to find. I sometimes use a mixture of both, i.e. tapping somewhere near the bottom of the screen to focus on the tab bar, then flicking left or right to find the right tab.

Left/right flicks are difficult to use on screens with lots of content on them, unfortunately.
