Section 6: Entering Text

This section explains how to select the desired text input
method when entering characters. This section also
describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
The phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that
can tell if the phone is in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This feature is useful when
entering text.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available:
•
Samsung keyboard (default): Samsung's onscreen QWERTY
keyboard is used in both portrait and landscape
orientation.
•
Google voice typing: Enter text by speaking.
•
Swype ™ keyboard: The Swype onscreen keyboard allows you to
slide your fingers from letter to letter in order to form words
without lifting them as you would when typing text.
To change the input method, see "Keyboards and Input
Methods" on page 149.
