Section 5: Entering Text

This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation and numbers when you need to enter text.

Virtual QWERTY Keyboard

Your phone 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 appears at the bottom of the screen. By default, when you rotate the phone, the screen orientation updates to keep the keyboard at the bottom of the screen.
46

Text Input Methods

Your phone 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.
Samsung Keypad
: The Samsung Keypad is a virtual QWERTY keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen. The Samsung Keypad includes XT9 predictive text, which matches your key touches to common words so that you can select the word to enter it into your text.
Android Keyboard
: The Android Keyboard is a virtual QWERTY keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen. Android Keyboard, like the Samsung Keypad, includes predictive text.

Changing the Input Method

When entering text, you can select the text input method.
Touch and hold on a text input field, then select an input method:
•Swype
• Samsung keypad
• Android keyboard
Page 51

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”.
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.
For more information, see
While entering text, touch
Tip:
