Using Trace to Enter Text
Instead of touching the keys
on the onscreen keyboard, you
can "trace" to type words. To
trace, slide your finger on the
onscreen keyboard to enter
words. For example, if you
want to type "the", put your
finger on the "t" key, and then
trace the word "the" on the
onscreen keyboard by sliding
your finger to each letter.

Predictive Text
The onscreen keyboard has predictive text to help you
type quickly and accurately. Predictive text input is
enabled by default, and word suggestions are
displayed as you type.
To enter a word in predictive mode, do any of the
following:
If you see the word you want highlighted in green or
orange, you can simply touch the space bar to insert
the word into your text.
If you see the word you want shown in the
suggestions before you have finished typing the
entire word, touch the word to insert it into your text.
If an arrow is shown to the right of the suggestion list,
touch the arrow to see more suggestions.
