Using the Gesture input function to write words

You can input text by sliding your finger from letter to letter on the on-screen

keyboard. You can lift your finger between words so that the phone recognises them.

Gesture input is only available when you use the on-screen keyboard.

To enter text using the Gesture input function

1

When you enter text using the on-screen keyboard, slide your finger from letter

to letter to trace the word you want to write. Lift up your finger when you’ve

finished entering a word.

2

The phone suggests a word based on the letters you have traced. If necessary,

select the correct word in the candidate bar. To view more options, scroll right
or left in the word candidate bar. If you cannot find the desired word, tap
once to delete the entire word. Then try again to trace the word using the

Gesture input function, or tap each letter to enter the word.

3

If the Space between gestures setting is activated, trace the next word that

you want to enter. If not, tap the space bar and then trace the next word you

want to enter.

To enter joined compound words when the Space between gestures setting is activated, you

may need to slide to enter the first part of the word, then tap each letter to enter the rest of

the word.

The Phonepad is similar to a standard 12-key telephone keypad. It gives you

predictive text and multi-tap input options. You can activate the Phonepad text input

method via the keyboard settings. The Phonepad is only available in portrait

orientation.
