Swype Tips

This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your finger down on the “t” and, without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the “i”, then over to the “s”.

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.
