T9 Trace

T9 Trace is built into the Samsung keyboard. This method allows you to enter a word by sliding your finger from letter to letter and lifting it between words. T9 Trace uses error correcting algorithms and a language model to predict the next word and includes a touch predictive text system.

Enabling T9 Trace

When T9 Trace is enabled, the onscreen keyboard can be used to enter text by tapping or swiping across the onscreen keys.

1.Press and tap > > Language and input.

2.Tap to the right of Samsung keyboard.

3.Touch the checkmark to the right of T9 Trace to enable T9 Trace text entry.

Swype Settings

Swype provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which compensates for users pressing the wrong keys on QWERTY keyboards.

2.Tap to the right of Swype. For information about Swype, see Swype.

Voice Search

The Voice Search feature is a voice-activated application that allows you to tell the device what to search for and then the device activates a Google search based on what you said.

2.Tap Voice Search to access the following options:

Language: allows you set the language you will be using for your voice input and output.
