Swype
Swype lets you enter words by tracing over the letters on the virtual QWERTY keyboard.
Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also
tap letters to enter words.
Swype provides next-letter prediction and regional error correction, which can compensate for
tapping the wrong keys on the virtual QWERTY keyboards.
Use Swype to Enter Text
1. From a screen where you can enter text drag down from the top of the screen to open
the Notifications panel, and then tap
Select input method

2. Swipe your finger continuously over the letters to form a word. As you swipe over letters,
words matching your pattern display at the top of the Swype keyboard. To enter a word,
lift your finger, or tap a word at the top of the keyboard.
3. While entering text, use these options:
If you make a mistake, tap
