Using the Swype Keyboard
Swype™ is a text input method that allows you to enter a word by
sliding your finger or stylus from letter to letter, lifting your finger
between words. SWYPE uses error correcting algorithms and a
language model to predict the next word. SWYPE also includes a
touch predictive text system.
