Tips:
• To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”),
drag through the
n as though it was an apostrophe.
• To enter several symbols, touch
SYM.
• To correct a word, double-tap it. Swype shows a
small menu of other word options. Swype might
also show a menu if it can’t guess your word.
• If Swype doesn’t know a word, you can still touch
the letter keys to enter it. Swype remembers, so
next time you can just drag over the letters.
