Understanding Your Device 43
Entering Text Using 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.
