Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input method
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the device is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your device also provides several on-screen keyboard text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
Text Input Methods
There are three text input methods available:
• Google voice typing: provides a voice to text interface.
• Samsung keyboard: an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that
can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
• Swype (default): a new way to enter text on touch screens.
Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over
each letter of a word.
The on-screen QWERTY keyword works the same in both
portrait and landscape mode.

The Text Input Method can be assigned from within one of
two locations:
