Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus and associated method are provided, comprising: at a device including a display and a touch interface: displaying, utilizing the display, a graphical user interface configured to display a sentence including a plurality of words; and while the graphical user interface is displayed: detecting, utilizing the touch interface, a gesture of a particular type at a location on the graphical user interface that corresponds to at least one of the plurality words, in response to detection of the gesture of the particular type at the location on the graphical user interface that corresponds to the at least one word, displaying a selection of the at least one word, during the display of the selection of the at least one word, detecting, utilizing the touch interface, another gesture of the particular type at a location on the graphical user interface that corresponds to the at least one word, and in response to detection of the another gesture of the particular type during the display of the selection of the at least one word, displaying the at least one word as being selected for movement of the at least one word with respect to other words of the plurality of words, such that detection of the gesture and the another gesture cause different operations to be performed in connection with the at least one word despite being of the same particular type.
