Entering words using Swype
Instead of tapping the keys on the onscreen keyboard, you can use Swype® to type
words. Swype lets you slide your finger on the onscreen keyboard to enter words. For
example, if you want to type “the”, you would put your finger on the “t” key, and then
trace the word (by sliding your finger) “the” on the onscreen keyboard.
