Touchscreen keyboard entry can be done in either Portrait or Landscape orientations. The Landscape orientation provides more space and results in slightly bigger onscreen keys. If you find that you prefer to enter text via the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this orientation.
Selecting a Text Input Method
Some characters and types, such as some symbols and emoticons, are not accessible from the onscreen keyboard.
The Text Input Method can be assigned from within one of two locations:

> Settings > Language and input > Default and select an input method.
Text Input field:

2.Tap (Select input method) and select an available input method.
There are three text input methods available: Google voice typing, Samsung keyboard, and T9 Trace.
●Google voice typing: provides a voice-to-text interface.
●Samsung keyboard: an onscreen QWERTY keyboard that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
●T9 Trace (default): (as part of the Samsung keyboard and not shown as an input method), lets you enter letters and words by swiping across the onscreen keyboard. Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word.
The onscreen QWERTY keyboard works the same in both portrait and landscape mode.
Assigning T9 Trace
When T9 Trace is enabled, the onscreen keyboard can be used to enter text by either tapping single letters or swiping across the onscreen keys.
1. Press and tap |

1.Press and tap
> Settings > Language and input > Default > Samsung keyboard.

Changing the Text Input Mode
1.From a screen where you can enter text, tap the text input field to reveal the onscreen keyboard.
2.With Samsung keyboard as your text entry method, select one of the following text mode options:
