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 following example shows how to enter the word “This”. Put your finger down on the “T”,
and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the “i” then over to the “s”.
