Decuma OnSpot Handwriting Recognition Now Also For Smartphones
LUND, Sweden----July 8, 2004--From its position as prominent provider of handwriting recognition for PDAs, Decuma is now expanding into the smartphone arena, with the first smartphones including Decuma's software to be expected during 2005. For selected smartphones currently shipping, consumers will be able to download Decuma's software already this year. Current solutions are for mobile phones based on Symbian UIQ and other operating systems are in the pipeline. PalmOS and Windows CE have been supported by Decuma for long.
Decuma's handwriting recognition technology currently covers western languages as well as Chinese and Japanese, a width not offered by anyone else in the market. Decuma's most important differentiator, however, remains the user interface, praised for giving the user an experience very close to that of using a pen on paper, allowing natural and intuitive handwriting.
"With the increased focus on using mobile phones for e-mail communication, we see a growing interest in making text input easier for the user", says Charlotta Falvin, CEO of Decuma. "Customers have been requesting our solution for smartphones, and we are pleased to be able to meet those requests".
Decuma offers its technology for integration in mobile phones with pen input capabilities, targeting manufacturers and platform developers directly, but also through industry partners.
