Section 5: Entering Text This section describes how to select the desired text input method when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount of key strokes associated with entering text. Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can tell if the device is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text. Your device also provides several on-screen keyboard text entry options to make the task of text entry that much easier. Text Input Methods There are three text input methods available: • Google voice typing: provides a voice to text interface. • Samsung keyboard: an on-screen QWERTY keyboard that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation. • Swype (default): a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. The on-screen QWERTY keyword works the same in both portrait and landscape mode. Selecting the Text Input Method The Text Input Method can be assigned from within one of two locations: Settings Menu: Ⅲ Press ➔ and then tap Settings ➔ Language and input ➔ Default and select an input method.
