Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input method
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your phone also provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
Text Input Methods
There are two text input methods available:
•
Google voice typing: provides a voice to text interface.
•
Samsung keypad: an on-screen QWERTY keypad that can
be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
•
Swype (default): a new way to enter text on touch screens.
Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over
each letter of a word.
The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both
portrait and landscape mode.
