Yes Bill the gestures are for all Voice Over products. (I could have made
that more clear.)

Let's try this again, I'm not sure I wrote that correctly.  Does this list
apply to the iPhone 5S, which I just purchased a couple days ago?

I now have my IPad Mini. A fun and good machine. I'm learning its programs.
I have a Bluetooth Apple keyboard, and am learning its key strokes. 

Here's a summary of key Voiceover gestures:

Navigate and read

..Tap: Select and speak the item.

..Swipe right or left: Select the next or previous item.

..Swipe up or down: Depends on the rotor setting. See Use the VoiceOver
rotor on page 105.

..Two-finger tap: Stop speaking the current item.

..Two-finger swipe up: Read all from the top of the screen.

..Two-finger swipe down: Read all from the current position.

..Two-finger scrub: Move two fingers back and forth three times quickly
(making a "z") to dismiss 

an alert or go back to the previous screen.

..Three-finger swipe up or down: Scroll one page at a time.

..Three-finger swipe right or left: Go to the next or previous page (such as
the Home screen 

or Stocks).

..Three-finger tap: Speak additional information, such as position within a
list or whether text 

is selected.

..Four-finger tap at top of screen: Select the first item on the page.

..Four-finger tap at bottom of screen: Select the last item on the page.

Activate

..Double-tap: Activate the selected item.

..Triple-tap: Double-tap an item.

..Split-tap: As an alternative to selecting an item and double-tapping to
activate it, touch and 

hold an item with one finger, and then tap the screen with another.

..Double-tap and hold (1 second) + standard gesture: Use a standard gesture.
The double-tap and 

hold gesture tells iPad to interpret the next gesture as standard. For
example, you can double-

tap and hold, and then without lifting your finger, drag your finger to
slide a switch.

..Two-finger double-tap: Play or pause in Music, Videos, or Photos. Take a
photo in Camera. Start 

or pause recording in Camera. Start or stop the stopwatch.

..Two-finger double-tap and hold: Relabel the selected item.

..Two-finger triple-tap: Open the Item Chooser.

..Three-finger double-tap: Mute or unmute VoiceOver.

..Three-finger triple-tap: Turn the screen curtain on or off.
