Swype
Swype lets you enter words by tracing over the letters on the virtual QWERTY keyboard.
Instead of touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also
touch letters to enter words.
Swype provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which can compensate for
touching the wrong keys on the virtual QWERTY keyboards.
