Entering Text Using Swype

Swype™ is a unique text input method that lets you
enter words by sliding your finger from letter to letter,
lifting only between words. It uses error-correcting
algorithms and a language model to guess the
intended words.
The Samsung and Swype onscreen keyboards have
different options.
