Entering Text Using Swype

Swype™ is a text input method that allows you to enter a word by 

sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your finger 
between words. Swype uses error correcting algorithms and a 
language model to predict the next word. Swype also includes a 
tapping predictive text system.

The Samsung keypad is the default text input method, so to use 
Swype, you must first change the default keyboard setting. 

To enable Swype:

From the Home screen, tap 

 

➔

 Settings 

➔

 Locale 

➔

 Select input method.

Tap the Swype option. 

Tap 

 

to return to the previous menu.

For information on the Swype settings, see “Swype Settings” on 
page 82.

You can access the SwypeTips application and watch a video or 
tutorial on using Swype. You can also use the following Swype 
text entry tips.

• 

Create a squiggle (like an S shape) to create a double letter (such as pp 

in apple).

• 

Touch and hold a key to view the punctuation menu then make a 

selection.

• 

Move your finger or stylus over the apostrophe to enter contractions.
