Entering Text 52
Here are a few tips to get you started:
•
Auto-spacing
: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and
start the next word.
•
Double letters
: Just “scribble” on the key.
•
Auto-capitalization
: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first
word of sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that is not at
the beginning of a sentence, just glide above the keypad before
gliding over the next letter.
•
Contractions

apostrophe, just swype the letters of the word, including the
apostrophe.
•
Punctuation
: Touch and hold a key to view a punctuation menu
and make a selection.

Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the

you want to change.
