Section 4: Entering Text

Swype Keyboard in New Message

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.

Text Input Methods

Your device offers two text input methods:

•

Swype

: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter
words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting
your finger between words. You can also enable Word prediction,
which matches your key touches to common words.

•

Samsung Keypad

: The Samsung Keyboard is a virtual QWERTY
keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen.
The Samsung Keypad includes predictive text, which matches your
key touches to common words so that you can select the word to enter
it into your text.

Changing the Input Method

When entering text, you can select the text input method.

䊳

Touch and hold on a text input field, then select an input
method:

•Swype

• Samsung keypad

Entering Text 39

Entering Text Using Swype

i

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”.

40

Here are a few tips to get you started:

•

Spacing is automatic

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

start the next word.

•

Double letters

•

Capitalization

: Just “scribble” on the key.

: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of
sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that isn’t 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

: Tap 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.
