How to exit double-tap mode???

On a brand new iPod Touch (purchased March '11) it will no longer swipe to unlock the screen, nor swipe to scroll, won't swipe between screens, etc. It WILL work fine by double tapping the icons. How do I exit double-tap mode and get the Touch back to swiping again?

Thank you,

Someone has enabled voiceover mode, but since you don't hear it, "speak hints" must be disabled. You will have to double-tap to go through all these steps, It's part of the "Voiceover" feature. To get back to normal go to Settings, General, Accessibility which is at the bottom of the page. On that page at the top you will see "Voiceover". If it is on, and it sure sounds like it is, you will have to double-tap to turn it off. Now all should be well.

Peace.
