Entering Text 37
Screen Keyboard Types
Your phone offers three on-screen QWERTY keyboards:
•
Swype
(default): Use the Swype keyboard to enter words by gliding
your finger over the on-screen QWERTY keyboard, lifting your finger
between words. You can also touch individual keys or use Swype Word
Prediction or Voice Recognition.
•
Samsung Keypad
: Use the Samsung Keypad to enter text by touching
keys on the screen. You can also use XT9 predictive text to match the
first few letters you type with words in a dictionary, then you can select
a finished word from a list.
Changing the Keyboard Type
When entering text, you can select the type of on-screen
keyboard you wish to use.

Touch and hold on a text input field, then select a keyboard
type:
• Samsung keypad
• Swype
Using the Swype Keyboard
The Swype keyboard offers a new way to enter text on touch
screens. Instead of touching each key, use your finger to trace
over each letter of a word. For each word, place your finger on
the first letter and glide to the subsequent letters, lifting on the
last letter.
This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your finger
down on the “t”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the
“i” then over to the “s”.
