or right edge of the touch screen, and drag your finger across over the virtual
keyboard.
Write using Swype
Slide your finger from letter to letter; you don't have to be so accurate. If a word has
the same letter twice, scribble on or make a loop on the letter. A space is automatically
inserted when you lift your finger to write the next word.
Tip: To temporarily deactivate the auto space feature, slide your finger from the
space key to the backspace key. To make this setting permanent, or to modify other
settings, select and hold the Swype key on the bottom left of the keyboard.
Write and edit text using word suggestion
As you write, a list of possible words is displayed. If the desired word is displayed,
select it. If the desired word is first in the list, start entering the next word, and the
word is automatically inserted. To add a word to the dictionary, write the word, select
the space key and the automatic popup.
To see a list of alternatives for a word that you have already entered, select the word
and the Swype key.
Tip: To add several words, phone numbers, or words that contain numbers and
symbols to the dictionary quickly, drag to highlight them, and select the Swype key.
Change the case of a word
Select the word, and swipe from the Swype key to the shift key. Select the desired
option from the list.
Tip: To capitalise the initial letter of a word, in one fluid motion, place your finger on
the letter, slide your finger up above the keyboard, and slide back down to the next
letter. Write the rest of the word as normal.
Insert an accented character, symbol, or number
To view a list of characters available on a particular key, select and hold the key. Select
the character from the list.
