Text Input Methods

Your device 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.
Your device also provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
There are three text input methods available:
•
Google voice typing: allows you to enter text by speaking.
•
Samsung keyboard (default): 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 94.
The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both
portrait and landscape mode.
