Touchscreen Keyboards
Touchscreen keyboard entry can be done in either Portrait or Landscape orientations. The
Landscape orientation provides more space and results in slightly bigger onscreen keys. If you
find that you prefer to enter text via the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this
orientation.
Selecting a Text Input Method
Some characters and types, such as some symbols and emoticons, are not accessible from the
onscreen keyboard.
The Text Input Method can be assigned from within one of two locations:
Settings Menu:
► Press > > Settings > Language and input > Default and select an input
method.
Text Input field:
1. From a screen where you can enter text, touch and drag down the Notifications area.
2. Tap (Select input method) and select an available input method.
Text Input Methods
The three available text input methods are Google voice typing, Samsung keyboard, and
Swype.
● Google voice typing: provides a voice-to-text interface.
● Samsung keyboard: an onscreen QWERTY keyboard that can be used in both portrait
and landscape orientation.
● Swype (default): (as part of the Samsung keyboard and not shown as an input method),
lets you enter letters and words by swiping across the onscreen keyboard. Instead of
tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word.
The onscreen QWERTY keyboard works the same in both portrait and landscape mode.
