Entering Text Using Swype
Swype™ is a unique text input method that allows a
user to enter a word by sliding a finger from letter to
letter, lifting only between words. It uses error-correcting
algorithms and a language model to guess the word

keyboard is set to “Shift-Lock” where all characters are
