• To enter apostrophes in common words (like “I’ll”),
drag through the apostrophe key.
• To correct a word, double-tap it. Swype shows a
small menu of other word options. Swype might
also show a menu if it can’t guess your word.
• If Swype doesn’t know a word, touch individual
letters to enter it. Swype remembers, so next time
you can just drag over the letters.
