Enter text a letter at a time. As you type, your
smartphone suggests words from your dictionary and
chosen language. The smartphone also automatically
enters apostrophes in some words, like “dont.”
Swype™
Enter words with one continuous motion. Just drag your
finger over the letters in the word.
Tips:
• To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”),
drag through the
n
as though it was an apostrophe.
• To enter other punctuation, numbers, or symbols,
touch Symbols .
• To correct a word, double-touch it (tap twice, quickly).
Swype shows a small menu of other word options.
Swype might also show a menu if it can’t guess your
word.
