Typing
Gesture
Typing works
best for English. Quality varies for other lan
guages, and some
don’t
support it yet.
To
input
a
word using Gesture
Typing:
1.
Touch
the
location
where you want to type
to
open the
keyboard.
2. Slide your
finger
slowly across the letters of the word you want
to
input.
3. Release your
finger
when the word you want is displayed in
the floating preview or the middle
of
the suggestion strip.
To
select one of the other words in the suggestion strip,
touch
it.
If the word you want isn’t shown while using Gesture
Typing,
you can type it out
manually.
If you gesture
a
word and want to
change it, touch the word
to
see other choices in the suggestion
strip.
TIP: If there are letters you want to emphasize, like repeat
ed letters, such as the “e” in sleep, pause over the “e” slight
ly longer before moving on to the next
letter.
Use Gesture
Typing
without the space bar
When you use Gesture
Typing,
there’s no need to use the space
bar
—
just continue to slide your
finger
across the letters you want
to input, then lift your
finger
to start the next word.
