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
