Section 4: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input method
when entering characters into your tablet. This section also
describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the
amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your tablet comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the tablet is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways
(Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your tablet also provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
Text Input Methods
There are text input methods available:
•
Samsung keypad
: an on-screen QWERTY keypad that can be
used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
•
Swype
: a new way to enter text on touch screens. 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.
Using the Samsung QWERTY Keyboard
From a screen where you enter text, rotate your tablet clockwise
or counterclockwise to a landscape orientation. The on-screen
QWERTY keypad displays.
