Entering Text Using Swype
Swype™ is a unique text input method that allows a
user to enter a word by sliding a finger from letter to
letter, lifting only between words. It uses error-correcting
algorithms and a language model to guess the word
intended. It also includes a tapping predictive text
system in the same interface.
The onscreen keyboard options are different between
the Android keyboard and Swype onscreen input
methods.
