ATTK (light) v5.0.3.2The Calgary, Alberta, Canada-based Zi Coportation today announced that it has signed a licensing agreement with Nintendo which will permit Nintendo DS developers to employ Zi’s Decuma handwriting recognition technology in games/software for the Nintendo DS.

The Decuma technology allows for fast, natural handwriting input, where users can mimic writing with a pencil and paper. Letters and words are recognized and converted in what Zi calls a “natural flow”, allowing for editing and correction. The Decuma technology is available for English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese (Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana), and additional languages.

“As the leading provider of handheld video game systems in the world, Nintendo has a reputation for adopting innovative technologies that improve the user’s experience with its products. With Decuma, Nintendo DS users will experience natural handwriting recognition previously only available to PDA and smartphone users. Zi continues to bring its multi-modal input products to leading mobile phones, gaming platforms and smartphones across the globe,” said Milos Djokovic, Chief Technical Offier and Chief Operating Offier of the Zi Corporation.
