Here are a few tips to get you started:
Spacing is automatic: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and
•
start the next word.
Double letters: Just "scribble" on the key.
•
Capitalization: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of
•
sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that isn't at the beginning
of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the
next letter.
Contractions: Swype recognizes most words that include an
•
apostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including the
apostrophe.
Punctuation: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and
•
make a selection.
Accented characters: Just glide through the letters of the word.
•
Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.
Error correction: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word you
•
want to change.
