An electronic device presents a first user interface element of a first type and a second user interface element of a second type. In a sighted mode, the device detects a first interaction with the first user interface element, and performs an operation in accordance with sighted-mode gesture responses for the first user interface element. The device detects a second interaction with the second user interface element, and performs an operation in accordance with sighted-mode gesture responses for the second user interface element. In an accessible mode, the device detects a third interaction with the first user interface element, and performs an operation in accordance with accessible-mode gesture responses for the first user interface element. The device detects a series of interactions with the second user interface element; and, for each interaction, performs an operation in accordance with the sighted-mode gesture responses for the second user interface element.
