tap a text entry field, and can be used in either portrait or landscape mode. You can also use the Google
Voice typing option to enter text using your voice (see

(like on a computer), along with enhancements and options that allow you to enter text faster and more
accurately, such as continuous key input, personalized usage dictionaries, and more.
