Swype™ Text Entry
Swype lets you enter a word with one continuous
motion. To enter a word, just drag your finger over the
letters.

Swype Typing Tips

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