Tips & tricks
• To move the cursor, touch and hold a word you entered.
This opens a magnifier where you can drag the cursor.
• To copy and paste, double-tap a word to highlight it
(if needed, drag the ends of the highlight). Now touch
and hold a blank spot for the copy and paste menu.
• To add a word to your dictionary, double-tap the word
to highlight it. Now touch and hold a blank spot to open
the menu where you can add the word.
If Swype doesn’t know a word, touch individual letters to
enter it. Swype remembers, so next time you can just
drag over the letters.
• To enter the small number or symbol at the top of
a key, touch and hold the key.
To enter several numbers or symbols, touch
SYM.
• To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”)
in Swype, drag through the apostrophe key.
