Text input methods

You can enter letters, numbers, and special characters in two ways. The keyboards allow you to tap characters with the stylus or your fingers. Handwriting recognition allows you to write characters directly onto the screen using the stylus as a pen.

To begin text input, tap any text field with the stylus or your fingers. The text input area appears on the touch screen and displays one of the keyboards or the handwriting recognition area, depending on the previously used text input method.

To switch between text input methods, tap on the keyboards or handwriting recognition view, and select Input method and the desired option. Start writing.

Your device can complete words based on the built-in dictionary for the selected text input language. The device also learns new words from your input.
