Using the Samsung Keyboard
The Samsung keyboard is a custom virtual QWERTY
keyboard, featuring predictive text. Input characters by
touching the on-screen keys with your finger or use speech
recognition.
As you enter characters, predictive text matches your key
touches to common words and displays them. Select a word
from the display to insert it into your text. For more
information, refer to “Using XT9 Predictive Text” on page49.
Your tablet also provides handwriting recognition to make the
task of text entry that much easier.

Keyboard Types

In addition to the default QWERTY keyboard, there are two
other types of the Samsung keyboard: a Floating keyboard
and a Split keyboard.
To change the keyboard type:
1. Use two fingers, such as your index
finger and thumb, to make an inward
pinch motion on the screen, where
the keyboard is displayed.
A pop-up displays the three keyboard types.
2. Touch one of the keyboard types to display it.
The Split keyboard can be moved up and down and the
Floating keyboard can be moved anywhere.
Tap and hold with two fingers to move the Floating or
Split keyboard.
