Using Swype
Swype lets you enter a word with one continuous motion: just drag your finger over the letters in the word.
■ Place your finger on the key with the first letter of the word and drag your finger to each
subsequent letter without lifting your finger off the screen.
■ Continue until you have finished the word. Lift your finger after the last letter.
■ If Swype cannot clearly determine your word, the word choice window opens. Select an
alternative word from the list.
