Section 3: Entering Text
This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation
and numbers when you need to enter text.
Virtual QWERTY Keyboard
Your device uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry. Use
the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and other
characters into text entry fields or applications. Access the
keyboard by touching any text entry field.
The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the
screen. By default, when you rotate the device, the screen
orientation updates to display the keyboard at the bottom of the
screen.
Text Input Methods
There are four text input methods available:
• Android Keyboard (default): an on-screen QWERTY keypad that
can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation (see
page 32).
• Voice Input: You can use your voice to enter text using the Voice
input feature. Your device recognizes your speech and enters
text for you. (see page 38).
• Samsung Keypad: Samsung’s on-screen QWERTY keypad that
can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation (see
page 33).
• Swype: a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word (see page 38).
Entering Text Using the Android Keyboard
From a screen where you can enter text, rotate your phone
counterclockwise to a Landscape orientation. The on-screen
QWERTY keypad will display.
