Entering Text Using Swype

Swype is a text input method that allows you to enter a word
by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your
finger between words. Swype uses error correcting
algorithms and a language model to predict the next word.
Swype also includes a predictive text system.
The following example shows how to enter the word "This".
Put your finger down on the "T", and without lifting, glide it
to the "h", then to the "i" then over to the "s".
