Section 3: Entering Text

This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation and numbers when you need to enter text.

Virtual QWERTY Keyboard

Your device uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry. Use the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and other characters into text entry fields or applications. Access the keyboard by touching any text entry field.

The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the screen. By default, when you rotate the device, the screen orientation updates to display the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.

Using the Samsung Keypad

The Samsung Keypad 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.
