Entering Text Using Swype
Swype™ is a new way to enter text on touch screens.
Instead of touching each key, use your finger to trace over
each letter of a word. For each word, place your finger on the
first letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting on the
last letter.
The following example shows how to enter the word “this”.
Put your finger down on the “t” and, without lifting, glide it to
the “h”, then to the “i”, then over to the “s”.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
•
Auto-spacing
: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and
start the next word.
•
Double letters
: Just “scribble” on the key.
•
Auto-capitalization
: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first
word of sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that is not at
the beginning of a sentence, just glide above the keypad before
gliding over the next letter.
