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 a 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.
