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.
