Understanding Your Phone       39

Entering Text

This section describes how to select the desired text input 
method when entering characters into your phone. This 
section also describes the predictive text entry system that 
reduces the amount of key strokes associated with 
entering text.

Your phone 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.

There are three text input methods available:

• 

Google voice typing: Enter text by speaking.

• 

Samsung keyboard (default): Samsung’s onscreen 

QWERTY keyboard that can be used in both portrait and 

landscape orientation.

• 

Swype: Instead of touching each key to enter text, use 

your finger to trace over each letter of a word.

To change the input method, see “Keyboards and Input 
Methods” on page 172.

To choose a text input method while entering text:

1. Touch the top of the screen and swipe downward.

The Notification Panel displays.

2. Touch  

Choose input method.

The Choose input method pop-up displays.

3. Touch an input method to activate it.

The Samsung keyboard is a custom virtual QWERTY 
keyboard, featuring optional predictive text. Input characters 
by touching the onscreen keys with your finger or use 
speech recognition.

You can enable predictive text, to have the Samsung 
keyboard match your key touches to common words and 
display them. The Personalization option learns from Gmail, 
Facebook, and Twitter. Log into these applications to enable 
the Samsung keyboard to learn from your text input.
