Entering Text Using Swype Swype™ is the default text input method that allows you to enter a word by sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your finger between words. Swype uses error correcting algorithms and a language model to predict the next word. Swype also includes a touch predictive text system. The on-screen keyboard options are different between the Android keyboard and Swype on-screen input methods. Note: During its initial use, you may be prompted by a series of Swype Connect set up screens. Follow the initial on-screen set up instructions. For more detailed Swype setting information, see "Swype Settings" on page 295. Enabling and Configuring Swype If you configure another text input method (Samsung keyboard) you must re-enable Swype before using the Swype keyboard. When Swype is enabled there can also be normal keyboard functionality. 1. From the main Settings page, tap Language and input. 2. Tap Default ➔ Swype.
