Section 3: Entering Text
This section describes how to enter words, letters, punctuation
and numbers when you need to enter text.
Virtual QWERTY Keyboard
Your device uses a virtual QWERTY keyboard for text entry. Use
the keyboard to enter letters, punctuation, numbers, and other
characters into text entry fields or applications. Access the
keyboard by touching any text entry field.
The virtual QWERTY keyboard displays at the bottom of the
screen. By default, when you rotate the device, the screen
orientation updates to display the keyboard at the bottom of the
screen.
Text Input Methods
Your device offers several text input methods. This section
explains two of them.
•
Swype: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter
words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting
your finger between words. You can also enable Word prediction,
which matches your key touches to common words.
•
Samsung Keypad: The Samsung Keypad is a virtual QWERTY
keyboard that allows you to enter text by touching keys on the screen.
The Samsung Keypad includes predictive text, which matches your
key touches to common words so that you can select the word to enter
it into your text.
The Android Keyboard is also a virtual QWERTY keyboard. For
more information about the Android Keyboard, the English (US)
Keyboard, and the TalkBack keyboard see “Configure Input
Methods” on page 145.
