Swype
Swype lets you enter words by tracing over the letters on the virtual QWERTY keyboard.
Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also
tap letters to enter words.
Swype provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which can compensate for
tapping the wrong keys on the virtual QWERTY keyboards.
Use Swype to Enter Text
1. From a screen where you can enter text drag down from the top of the screen to open
the Notification panel, and then tap Select input method > Swype.
2. Swipe your finger continuously over the letters to form a word. As you swipe over letters,
words matching your pattern display at the top of the Swype keyboard. To enter a word,
lift your finger, or tap a word at the top of the keyboard.
3. While entering text, use these options:
 If you make a mistake, tap to delete a single character. Touch and hold to
delete an entire word or field.
 By default, Swype starts with a capital at the beginning of text. To use capitalization
at any time, tap once to start with a capital letter, or tap twice to enter all
capitals.
 Tap to switch to a symbols keyboard, and then tap keys to enter numbers and
symbols.
