Text assistance
The Android keyboard has various features that assist you to enter correct text. In
the Application menu, tap the Settings icon, Language & input and then tap the
settings icon on the right side of Android keyboard. From here you can enable or

Changing the text input method
To change the input method, in the Application menu tap Settings > Language &
input > Default and then select your preferred input method.
Predictive text
Both Swype and Android keyboard provide predictive text input. As you tap the
letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the keyboard that
continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close match allowing for errors.
The word list changes after every key press. If the word you need is displayed, you
can tap on it to insert it into your text.
Swype
Swype is a fast way to enter text. It allows you to type
with one continuous motion across the screen
keyboard; you create a word by drawing through
letters.
Put your finger on the first letter of the word and draw
a path from letter to letter, lifting up only after the last
letter. Swype will insert spaces where necessary.
Swype will usually add a double letter in a word when
needed, but you can help Swype recognize you want
a double letter by scribbling slightly or making a loop
on the letter. For example, to get the "ll" in "hello",
scribble (or make a loop) on the "l" key.
When there are multiple suggestions for the word you
want to enter, Swype displays a Word Choice List. To
accept the default word in the Word Choice List, just
keep Swyping. Otherwise, scroll through the list by
dragging your finger, and tap the word you want.
