Enter Text
You can type on your phone using one of the available touchscreen keyboards.
Touchscreen Keyboards
Your phone offers you a choice of two touchscreen keyboards for entering text. The keyboard
appears automatically onscreen when you touch a text entry field and can be used in either
portrait or landscape mode. You can also use the Google voice typing option to enter text using
your voice (see Google Voice Typing for details).
The methods available include:
● Google Keyboard lets you use a traditional QWERTY setup to enter text. Additional
options expand your ability to enter text faster and more accurately. See Google
Keyboard for details.
● Google voice typing provides a voice-to-text interface.
● Swype lets you enter letters and words in one continuous motion by swiping your finger
across the letters. See Swype for details.
Note: Swype is selected as a default keyboard.
