Tips:
•To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”),
drag through the
n as though it was an apostrophe.
•To enter several symbols, other punctuation, or
numbers, touch
SYM .
•To correct a word, double-tap it. Swype shows a
small menu of other word options. Swype might
also show a menu if it can’t guess your word.
•If Swype doesn’t know a word, you can still touch
the letter keys to enter it. Swype remembers, so
next time you can just drag over the letters.

smartphone suggests words from your dictionary and
chosen language. Your smartphone also automatically
enters apostrophes in some words, like “dont.” You
