To enter text using the Gesture input function
When you enter text using the on-screen keyboard, slide your finger from letter to
1
letter to trace the word you want to write. Lift up your finger when you've finished
entering a word.
2 The phone suggests a word based on the letters you have traced. If necessary,
select the correct word in the candidate bar. To view more options, scroll right or
left in the word candidate bar. If you cannot find the desired word, tap
delete the entire word. Then try again to trace the word using Gesture input, or
tap each letter to enter the word.
3 If the Space between gestures setting is activated, trace the next word that you
want to enter. If not, tap the space bar and then trace the next word you want to
enter.
To enter joined compound words when the Space between gestures setting is activated, you
may need to slide to enter the first part of the word, then tap each letter to enter the rest of
the word.
