Entering Text using Swype
Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead
of touching each key individually, use your finger to trace
over the letters of a word. For each word, place your finger
on the first letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting
on the last letter.
Swype Help
While entering text, you can get information about Swype.
• Touch and hold Swype to access Settings, for the How to
Swype tutorial.
Configuring Swype

For more information about Swype settings, see “Configure
input methods” on page 122.
Some useful settings include:
• Language: You can use Swype in many languages. In Swype
settings, touch Language. To switch to another language while
entering text, touch until you find the desired language.

change the keyboard from the full width of the screen to a
smaller, movable size (touch and hold on the side of the smaller
keyboard to move it from side to side).
