Swype

Swype lets you enter words by tracing over the letters on 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.

Swype provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which can compensate for
tapping the wrong keys on the virtual QWERTY keyboards.

Note: The first time you use Swype, you’ll see an onscreen tutorial. Follow the prompts to see
