Section 4: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input method
when entering characters into your device. This section also
describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount
of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your device comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your device also provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
Text Input Methods
There are two text input methods available:
•
Google voice typing
: provides a voice to text interface.
•
Samsung keyboard
(default): an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that
can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
•
Swype is now embedded as part of the Samsung Keyboard called
T9 Trace.
•
T9 Trace
: is enabled so as you can enter text as you swipe across
the on-screen keyboard. Instead of tapping each key, use your
finger to trace over each letter of a word.
The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both portrait and
landscape mode.
