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 device comes equipped with an orientation detector that can

tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.

Your phone also provides several on-screen keypad 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 (default): an on-screen QWERTY

keyboard that can be used in both portrait and landscape

orientation.

• T9 Trace: (as part of the Samsung keyboard and not

shown as an input method), is also enabled as you

swipe across the on-screen keyboard. Instead of

tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each

letter of a word.

The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both
portrait and landscape mode.

Selecting the Text Input Method

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

Settings Menu:

Ⅲ Press

and then tap Settings

Language and input Default and select an input

method.

Text Input field:

1. From a screen where you can enter text, in a single
