the keypad.

Tips:

To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”), drag through the n as though it was an apostrophe.

To enter several symbols, touch SYM.

To correct a word, double-tap it. Swype shows a small menu of other word options. Swype might also show a menu if it can’t guess your word.

If Swype doesn’t know a word, you can still touch the letter keys to enter it. Swype remembers, so next time you can just drag over the letters.

Multi-touch keyboard

Enter text on a touchscreen keypad one letter at a time. As you type, your phone suggests words from your dictionary and chosen language. Your phone also automatically enters apostrophes in some words, like “dont.” You can also touch two keys at the same time,

such as Shift with a letter.

Text entry settings

When you enter text, your phone automatically corrects or suggests words. To change these settings,

touch Menu > Settings > Language & keyboard, then:

To edit your word suggestion dictionary, touch User dictionary.
