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 page 46.

Your tablet also provides handwriting recognition to make the task of text entry that much easier.
