Entering Text Using Swype
Swype™ is the default text input method that allows you to
enter a word by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to
letter, lifting your finger between words. Swype uses error
correcting algorithms and a language model to predict the
next word. Swype also includes a touch predictive text
system.
The on-screen keyboard options are different between the
Android keyboard and Swype on-screen input methods.
Note: If after enabling Swype you are prompted to Contribute
usage date, read the on-screen disclaimer and tap
either Accept or Cancel.
Enabling and Configuring Swype
If you configure another text input method (Samsung
