Swype

Swype is a fast way to enter text. It allows you to type with

one continuous motion across the screen keyboard; you

create a word by drawing through letters.

Put your finger on the first letter of the word and draw a

path from letter to letter, lifting up only after the last letter.

Swype will insert spaces where necessary.

Swype will usually add a double letter in a word when

needed, but you can help Swype recognize you want a

double letter by scribbling slightly or making a loop on the

letter. For example, to get the "ll" in "hello", scribble (or

make a loop) on the "l" key.

When there are multiple suggestions for the word you

want to enter. Swype displays a Word Choice List. To accept the default word in the

Word Choice List, just keep Swyping. Otherwise, scroll through the list by dragging

your finger, and tap the word you want.

Press and hold the Swype key to access settings, features, updates,

preferences, and help.

Tap to see numbers and special characters; tap the page (shift) key to

see even more.

Additional keys vary depending on the type of text you enter, e.g. a key to add a

smiley is available when typing a text message. Like other keys, tap and hold for

additional options.

To change the input method, open the Notification area (see "Status and

notification area" on page 17") and tap Choose input method.
