This section describes how to enter words, letters,
punctuation and numbers when you need to enter text.

called the

punctuation, numbers, and other characters into text entry
fields or applications. Access the keypad by touching any

Text Input Methods
Your device offers three text input methods.

using the Voice input feature. Your device recognizes your
speech and enters text for you. For more information, refer

: The Samsung keypad is also a virtual
QWERTY keypad that allows you to enter text by touching keys on
the screen. The Samsung keypad includes predictive text, which
matches your key touches to common words so that you can

enter words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY
