Section 4: Entering Text

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

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available:
•
Android keyboard (default): an on-screen QWERTY keypad
that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
•
Google voice typing: uses Google voice recognition to
convert your spoken words into on-screen text.
•
Samsung Keypad: Samsung's on-screen QWERTY keypad
that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
•
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.
To change the input method, see "Keyboards and Input
Methods" on page 128.
Entering Text Using the Android
Keyboard
From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone
