6. Write text
You can enter letters, numbers, and special characters in several different ways. The on-
screen keyboard allows you to enter characters by tapping them with your fingers or
the stylus. Handwriting recognition allows you to write characters directly onto the
screen using the stylus as a pen. Handwriting recognition may not be available for all
languages.
Tap any text input field to enter letters, numbers, and special characters.
Your device can complete words based on the built-in dictionary for the selected text
input language. The device also learns new words from your input.
