Swype™ text entry
Enter words with one continuous motion. Just drag your
finger over the letters in the word.
Tips:
•
To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”),
drag through the
n as though it was an apostrophe.
•
To enter several symbols, other punctuation, or
numbers, touch
SYM.
•
To correct a word, double-tap it. Swype shows a small
menu of other word options. Swype might also show
a menu if it can’t guess your word.
•
If Swype doesn’t know a word, you can still touch the
letter keys to enter it. Swype remembers, so next
time you can just drag over the letters.
