Entering Text Using Swype
Swype™ is a text input method that allows you to enter a

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.

Put your finger down on the “T”, and without lifting, glide it
to the “h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.
