Touchscreen Keyboards
Touchscreen keyboard entry can be done in either Portrait or Landscape orientations. The
Landscape orientation provides more space and results in slightly bigger on-screen keys. If you
find that you prefer to enter text via the on-screen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this
orientation.
Text Input Methods
Your device offers several text input methods.
● Google voice typing allows you to speak your entries.
● Samsung keyboard allows you to enter text by touching keys on a virtual QWERTY
keyboard. Samsung keyboard includes optional predictive text, which matches your key
touches to common words so you can select a word to insert it into your text.

tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also tap
letters to enter words.
