Entering Text Using Swype
Swype is a text input method that makes it possible to enter
a word by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter,
lifting your finger between words. Swype uses error
correcting algorithms and a language model to predict the
next word. Swype also includes a touch predictive text
system.

Swype Tips
The following example shows how to enter the word “This”.
Put your finger down on the “T”, and without lifting, glide it
to the “h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
•
Create a squiggle (like an S shape) to create a double letter (such
as
pp
in apple).
•
Touch and hold a key to view the punctuation menu then make a
selection.
