Text Input Methods - Samsung GALAXY TAB User Manual

Section 3: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input
method when entering characters into your tablet. This section
also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your tablet comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the tablet is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your tablet also provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.

Text Input Methods

There are two text input methods available:
Swype: a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
•
tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word.
Samsung Keypad (default): an on-screen QWERTY keypad that
•
can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both portrait
and landscape mode.
