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.
Enabling and Configuring Swype
The Samsung keypad is the default text input method, so to use
Swype, you must first change the default keyboard setting.
To enable Swype:
1. From the Home screen, tap Applications ➔ Settings
➔ Language and keyboard ➔ Select input method.
2. Tap the Swype option. A green circle should appear next to
Swype.
3. Press to return to the previous menu.
