Swype™ text entry
Swype lets you enter words with one continuous 
motion. To enter a word, just drag your finger over the 
letters in the word.
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.
Multi-touch keyboard
Enter text on a touchscreen keypad one letter at a 
time. As you type, your phone suggests words from 
your dictionary and chosen language. Your phone also 
automatically enters apostrophes in some words, like 
“dont.” You can also touch two keys at the same time, 
such as Shift  with a letter.
Text entry settings
When you enter text, your phone automatically 
corrects or suggests words. To change these settings, 
press Menu  > 
Settings > Language & keyboard, 
then:
