Entering Text Using Swype

Swype™ is the default text input method that allows you to
enter a word by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to
letter, lifting your finger between words. Swype uses error
correcting algorithms and a language model to predict the
next word. Swype also includes a touch predictive text
system.

The on-screen keyboard options are different between the
Android keyboard and Swype on-screen input methods.

If you configure another text input method (Samsung keypad)
you must re-enable Swype before using the Swype
keyboard.

When Swype is enabled there can also be normal keyboard
