Entering Text Using Swype - Samsung Gem User Manual

Entering Text Using Swype

Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide
to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.
This example shows how to enter the word "this". Put your finger
down on the "t", and without lifting, glide it to the "h", then to the
"i" then over to the "s".
When entering sentences, don't worry about putting in the
spaces between words - Swype does that for you to speed things
up.

apostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including the
apostrophe.
Punctuation: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and
