Entering Text Using Swype
Swype™ is the default text input method that allows you to enter
a word by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting
your finger between words. SWYPE uses error correcting
algorithms and a language model to predict the next word.
SWYPE also includes a touch predictive text system.
The onscreen keyboard options are different between the Android
keyboard and Swype onscreen input methods.
Enabling and Configuring SWYPE
If you configure another text input method (Samsung keypad) you
must re-enable SWYPE before using the SWYPE keyboard.
Even when SWYPE is enabled, you can still use both the physical
and on-screen keyboard functionality.
