When you enter text using the on-screen keyboard, slide your finger from letter
to letter to trace the word you want to write.
2
Lift up your finger when you’ve finished entering a word. A word is suggested
based on the letters you have traced. If necessary, select the correct word in
the candidate bar.
3
To view more options, scroll right or left in the word candidate bar. If you
cannot find the desired word, tap
ID: ICN-SONY-DELETE-PHONE-
NUMBER-BLK once to delete the entire word. Then try again to trace the word
using the Gesture input function, or tap each letter to enter the word.

If the Space between gestures [textinput_strings_settings_trace_auto_accept] setting is activated,
trace the next word that you want to enter. If not, tap the space bar and then
trace the next word you want to enter.
To enter joined compound words when the Space between gestures [textinput_strings_settings_trace_au-
to_accept] setting is activated, you may need to slide to enter the first part of the word, then tap
each letter to enter the rest of the word.
