Entering Text Using Swype

Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide
to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter. Here are a few
tips to get you started:

Spacing is automatic: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and

start the next word.

Double letters: Just “scribble” on the key.

Capitalization: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of

sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that isn’t at the beginning
of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the
next letter.

Contractions: Swype recognizes most words that include an

apostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including the
apostrophe.

Punctuation: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and

make a selection.

Accented characters: Just glide through the letters of the word.

Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.

Error correction: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word you

want to change.
