Entering Text Using Swype
Swype™ is a text input method that allows you to enter a word
by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your
finger between words. Swype uses error correcting algorithms
and a language model to predict the next word. Swype also
includes a tapping predictive text system.
The following 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”.
