Enter Text

You can type on your phone using the available touchscreen keyboards.

Touchscreen Keyboards

Touchscreen keyboard entry can be done in either Portrait or Landscape orientations. The Landscape
orientation provides more space and results in slightly bigger onscreen keys. If you find that you prefer to
enter text via the onscreen keyboard, and need bigger keys, use this orientation.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available.
● Google voice typing allows you to speak your entries.
● Samsung keyboard allows you to enter text by touching keys on a virtual QWERTY keyboard.
Samsung keyboard includes optional predictive text, which matches your key touches to common
words so you can select a word to insert it into your text.
● Swype lets you enter words by swiping across the virtual QWERTY keyboard. Instead of tapping
each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word. You can also tap letters to enter
words.

Google Voice Typing

This feature uses Google voice recognition to convert your spoken words into text.
