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.

the Notification Panel, and then touch

words matching your pattern display at the top of the Swype keyboard. To enter a word,
