Cheryl, it's a virtual keyboard for touchscreen smartphones and tablets. It's where the user enters words by sliding a finger or stylus from the first letter of a word to its last letter, lifting only between each word, y'know, instead of tapping each letter individually. I thought it was a standard onboard feature of all android phones. If you've done any texting and you don't know what it is, then apparently it's not. You can get it as an app though, I believe, which you might want to try.
I'll have to see if it does that. It does have a feature that when you start to type a word... a separate row of words appear that might be what you want. so you just tap that word or continue typing... and it "learns" words that you use most often... like names, cities, etc. I've successfully sent/received 4 text messages. Woohooo!
