- Write using Swype

To open the virtual keyboard, select a text input field. Slide your finger from letter to letter; you don't have to be so accurate. Swype usually knows if you want to write the same letter twice without you doing anything, but if you want to be sure, 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. To scroll through the list, drag your finger left or right on the list. 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 see a list of alternatives for a word that you have already entered, select the word.
- Add a word to the dictionary
-
Write the letters of the word one by one, then select the word from the word suggestion list. Confirm when asked.

To add several words, phone numbers, or words that contain numbers and symbols to the dictionary quickly, drag to highlight
them, then select the Swype key.
- Change the case of a word
-
Drag to highlight the word, then 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.
