Samsung Keyboard
Use the touchscreen Samsung keyboard for entering text. The keyboard appears automatically
when you 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

The Samsung keyboard offers a traditional QWERTY keyboard setup for entering text by tapping
keys (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.
