Zi Corporation Unveils Smart Texting Solutions at Symbian Expo
LONDON, United Kingdom, and Calgary, AB, Canada, September 28, 2004 – Zi Corporation (Nasdaq: ZICA) (TSX: ZIC), a leading provider of intelligent interface solutions, is to unveil its latest smartphone solutions at next week’s Symbian Expo in London – including new developments in its leading eZiText® and eZiTap™ predictive text products, incorporating multi-language capability.
Zi Corporation comes to Symbian Expo (stand number 53) – the world’s largest smartphone show in 2004 – with an impressive track record that includes more than 40 language databases, an additional 70 language interfaces and the ability to meet texting needs in more than 130 countries.
“Today’s smartphone users expect the best technology and features in their handsets,” said Glen Morgan, senior vice president of global sales and marketing for Zi Corporation. “Features from Zi, such as dual language messaging, next word prediction, phrase prediction, and lingo entry and prediction are all designed to improve the user experience of a mobile phone.”
“We have chosen the Symbian Expo to showcase our award winning applications as well as announce a significant addition to our smartphone product portfolio.”
In addition to its texting solutions, Zi has further extended its language capabilities with the introduction of dual language messaging. Dual language capabilities allow users to compose a message in a combination of two languages using simultaneous text entry and prediction. For example, a user would be able to input text in two different languages without the need to change menus. With dual language messaging, a user in the United Kingdom can compose a message in German and then compose the next message in English; or compose a single mixed language message.
The original downloadable eZiTap FEP (Front End Processor) was recently named “Best Productivity Application” for the Symbian OS™ (Operating System) by Handango in the 2004 Handango Champion Awards. The new Version 2 of the eZiTap FEP is now available and accessible through Handango and its more than 100 download portalshttp:///. Version 2, complete with several new unique features to make text entry even faster and now available in seven additional languages, works on the feature-rich and highly successful Sony Ericsson P800 and P900 series of smartphones.
