Using Swype

Swype allows you to enter a word by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your finger between words. Swype uses error correcting algorithms and a language model to predict the next word. Swype also includes a touch predictive text system.

Enter words by touching and holding the first letter of a word, sliding to each subsequent letter to spell out the word, then releasing the last letter.

To enable Swype:

Touch Apps Settings Language and input Swype. For options and settings, see “Swype” on page 92.
