Swype - Samsung Galaxy S5 User Manual

Swype

Swype lets you enter words by tracing over the letters on the virtual QWERTY keyboard. Instead of
tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also tap letters to enter
words.
Swype provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which can compensate for tapping the
wrong keys on the virtual QWERTY keyboards.
