Text Input Methods
There are three text input methods available: Google voice typing, Samsung keyboard, and T9
Trace.
● Google voice typing: provides a voice-to-text interface.
● Samsung keyboard: an onscreen QWERTY keyboard that can be used in both portrait
and landscape orientation.
● T9 Trace (default): (as part of the Samsung keyboard and not shown as an input
method), lets you enter letters and words by swiping across the onscreen keyboard.
Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word.
The onscreen QWERTY keyboard works the same in both portrait and landscape mode.
Assigning T9 Trace
When T9 Trace is enabled, the onscreen keyboard can be used to enter text by either tapping
single letters or swiping across the onscreen keys.
1. Press and tap > Settings > Language and input > (adjacent to the
Samsung keyboard field).
2. Tap T9 Trace to place a check mark next to T9 Trace. This turns T9 Trace on. Touching
it again clears the check mark, turning T9 Trace off.
Assigning the Samsung Keyboard
This phone has a built-in, QWERTY keyboard which you can use to type letters, numbers,
punctuation, and other characters.
To use the Samsung keyboard you must first configure the settings to default to the Samsung
keyboard.
1. Press and tap > Settings > Language and input > Default > Samsung
keyboard.
