Gesture typing allows you to type by dragging from letter to letter instead of tapping
each letter individually. Google Keyboard predicts the word you are typing and shows
suggestions. When the word that you want is shown in the floating preview box or in
the middle of the suggestion strip, release your finger. To select a different word from
the suggestion strip, tap the word.
Turn gesture typing on or off in Settings > Input > Google Keyboard >
Advanced.
NOTE Gesture typing is not available for all languages.
