Enter Text

You can type on your phone using the available touchscreen keyboards.

Touchscreen Keyboards

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.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available.

Google voice typing

allows you to speak your entries.

Samsung keyboard

allows you to enter text by touching keys on a virtual QWERTY

keyboard. Samsung keyboard includes optional predictive text, which matches your key

touches to common words so you can select a word to insert it into your text.

Swype

lets you enter words by swiping across the virtual QWERTY keyboard. Instead of

tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also tap

letters to enter words.

Google Voice Typing

This feature uses Google voice recognition to convert your spoken words into text.

Use Google Voice Typing to Enter Text

1. From a screen where you can enter text, drag down from the top of the screen to open

the Notification panel, and then tap Select input method > Google voice typing.
