Changing the text input method To change the input method, in the Application menu tap Settings > Language & input > Default and then select your preferred input method. Predictive text Both Swype and Android keyboard provide predictive text input. As you tap the letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the keyboard that continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close match allowing for errors. The word list changes after every key press. If the word you need is displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your text. Swype Swype is a fast way to enter text. It allows you to type with one continuous motion across the screen keyboard; you create a word by drawing through letters. Put your finger on the first letter of the word and draw a path from letter to letter, lifting up only after the last letter. Swype will insert spaces where necessary. Swype will usually add a double letter in a word when needed, but you can help Swype recognize you want a double letter by scribbling slightly or making a loop on the letter. For example, to get the "ll" in "hello", scribble (or make a loop) on the "l" key. When there are multiple suggestions for the word you want to enter, Swype displays a Word Choice List. To accept the default word in the Word Choice List, just keep Swyping. Otherwise, scroll through the list by dragging your finger, and tap the word you want. 11
