Tricks for using Swype with big fingers?

[Trekker]

I like the concept of swype and would love to use it all the time but I have large fingers and seem to have problems with accuracy.

When I use it for letters near the top of the keyboard and have to move to the lower letters, it's difficult to see them because my finger is covering up too much of the keyboard and I often miss the letter I want to select.

Anyone with fat fingers know any tricks to using swype successfully?

Memorize your keyboard so you fat fingers don't get in the way.

Keyboard has been memorized for years, but the keyboard on the Epic is so small, it's very easy to accidentally select the key next to the one you want (when swyping.)

Have you tried changing the accuracy Setting?

Didn't know there was one....thanks, I'll check it out. I've had the phone less than a week so there's a lot to learn.
