Swype

Swype lets you enter words by tracing over the letters on the virtual QWERTY keyboard. Instead of
tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also tap letters to enter
words.
Swype provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which can compensate for
tapping the wrong keys.
