Entering Text Using Swype

Swype™ is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.

This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your finger down on the “t” and, without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the “i”, then over to the “s”.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

•

Auto-spacing

: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and start

the next word.

•

Double letters

: Just “scribble” on the key.

Page 45

Auto-capitalization

•

: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that is not at the beginning of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the next letter.

•

Contractions

: Swype recognizes most words that include an apostrophe, just swype the letters of the word, including the apostrophe.

•

Punctuation

: Touch and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and

make a selection.

•

Accented characters

: Just glide through the letters of the word.

Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.

•

Error correction

: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word you

want to change.

Configuring Swype

Configure Swype to your preferences.
