Swype
Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of touching each key individually,
use your finger to trace over the letters of a word. For each word, place your finger on the first
letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.
1. Press and then touch > Settings > Language and input.
2. Touch next to Swype to configure these options:
Settings: Set Swype options.
• Sound on keypress: Play sounds for your Swype touches.
• Long-press delay: A “long press” is a touch-and-hold gesture you can use on
multi-function keys to display a menu of alternate characters. The long-press
delay sets the length of time Swype will measure to distinguish a long press from
a regular key press.
• Show complete trace: When enabled, the trace of each word displays briefly as
you draw it.
• Auto-capitalization: When enabled, Swype automatically capitalizes the first
word of sentences.
• Auto-spacing: When enabled, Swype automatically inserts spaces between
words as you complete them.
• Next word prediction: When enabled, Swype predicts the next word based on
the previous word.
• Show Voice key: When enabled, the Voice key is displayed on the Swype
keyboard.
