Entering text using Swype

Slide your finger on the Swype keyboard to enter text.
1. Start an app or select a text field that requires text or numbers.
2. Briefly press and hold the first letter of the word you want to enter, and then
slide your finger to the other letters of the word.
3. When you've reached the last letter, lift your finger.
For example, to enter the word "the", press and hold "t", and then slide your finger to
"h" and "e".
If you've entered a word that Swype doesn't recognize, word suggestions appear at
the top of the keyboard. Tap a word to enter it to your text.

characters or accents associated with them.

Tap to switch to the numeric and symbol keyboard.
