Entering Text Using Swype - Samsung Galaxy S Relay User Manual

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.
Enabling and Configuring SWYPE
If you configure another text input method (Samsung keypad)
you must re-enable SWYPE before using the SWYPE
keyboard.
When SWYPE is enabled there can also be normal keyboard
functionality.
