Using the Gesture input function to write words

You can input text by sliding your finger from letter to letter on the on-screen keyboard. You can lift your finger between words so that the phone recognizes them.

Gesture input is only available when you use the on-screen keyboard.

To enter text using the Gesture input function

1When you enter text using the on-screen keyboard, slide your finger from letter to letter to trace the word you want to write. Lift up your finger when you’ve finished entering a word.

2The phone suggests a word based on the letters you have traced. If necessary, select the correct word in the candidate bar. To view more options, scroll right or left in the word candidate bar. If you cannot find the desired word, tap once to delete the entire word. Then try again to trace the word using Gesture input, or tap each letter to enter the word.
