50Entering Text Using SwypeSwype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead oftouching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of aword. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glideto the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your fingerdown on the “t”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the“i” then over to the “s”.When entering sentences, don’t worry about putting in thespaces between words - Swype does that for you to speed thingsup.Here are a few tips to get you started:• Spacing is automatic: When you finish a word, just lift your finger andstart the next word.• Double letters: Just “scribble” on the key.• Contractions: Swype recognizes most words that include anapostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including theapostrophe.• Punctuation: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu andmake a selection.• Accented characters: Just glide through the letters of the word.Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.• Error correction: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word youwant to change.Configuring Swype• You can configure Swype to your preferences.
