Entering Text 43
Screen Keyboard Types
Your phone offers two on-screen QWERTY keyboards:
•
Samsung Keypad
: Use the Samsung Keypad to enter text by
touching keys on the screen. You can also use XT9 predictive text
to match the first few letters you type with words in a dictionary,
then you can select a finished word from a list.
•
Swype
(default): Use the Swype keyboard to enter words by
gliding your finger over the on-screen QWERTY keyboard, lifting
your finger between words. You can also touch individual keys or
use Swype Word Prediction or Voice Recognition.

Using the Swype Keyboard
The Swype keyboard offers a new way to enter text on touch
screens. Instead of touching each key, use your finger to
trace over each letter of a word. For each word, place your
finger on the first letter and glide to the subsequent letters,
lifting on the last letter.
This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your
finger down on the “t”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”,
then to the “i” then over to the “s”.
