Samsung SGH-I537_UM user manual Text Input Methods, Entering Text Using the Samsung Keyboard

Section 4: Entering Text

This section describes how to select the desired text input method when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.

Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available:

•Google Voice typing: allows you to enter text by speaking.

•Samsung keyboard (default): Samsung’s on-screen QWERTY keypad that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.

•Swype: a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word.

To change the input method, see “Keyboards and Input Methods” on page 144.

Entering Text Using the Samsung Keyboard

From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. The on-screen QWERTY keypad will display.
