Important!: At any time, you can access the QWERTY keyboard and directly enter text. For more information, refer to “Accessing the QWERTY Keyboard” on page 12.

Entering Text Using Swype

Swype™ is the default text input method that 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.

The onscreen keyboard options are different between the Android keyboard and Swype onscreen input methods.

Enabling and Configuring SWYPE

If you configure another text input method (Samsung keypad) you must re-enable SWYPE before using the SWYPE keyboard.

Even when SWYPE is enabled, you can still use both the physical and on-screen keyboard functionality.
