- 4Tap and hold down the top of the screen and swipe down. The notification panel will appear.
- 5Tap the settings icon. The icon is a white cog icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. This will open up the "Settings" menu. It will have the "Settings" word in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
- 6We scroll down until we get to the "PHONE" section. There will be "PHONE" written in a grey bar.

- 9Tap the "HTC Sense Input" and "Keyboard options" section. Another menu will be shown.
- 10Tap the "Trace keyboard" and "Slide fingers over letters to enter text" section. This function allows us to type words very quickly just by tapping the screen and then swiping over the other letters in a word. It means that we don't have to actually tap each letter. Sliding is a very fast method of typing, and it is very efficient. The default setting on the HTC One M8, however, for this function is that it turned off. The tick box is empty, and it means that the option is not activated.
- 11If we want to activate the "Trace keyboard" option, we tap the tick box. It will turn green and have a white tick inside of it.

- 14To return to the home screen, we need to press the home screen button located at the bottom of the phone. The button looks like a white house. We'll be taken to the home screen.
- 15We tap the message icon on the home screen. The icon has a chat box with three horizontal lines inside of it. Our messages will be shown.
- 16We choose a message that we can use by tapping it.
- 17We tap the "Add text" input field.
- 18We tap lightly the first letter of the word that we want to write and then swipe our finger to the next letters in the word. In this example, "Hello" will be typed in.
- 19We tap and hold the "H" letter.
- 20Slide the finger over to the next letters.
