Zi Corporation Creates Chinese Text Input for Phones

Calgary's Zi Corporation is to announce it's newly developed Chinese text input software for cellphones at this week's ComminicAsia show in Singapore. It sounds like an interesting product. Its success will be highly dependent on how effective the predictive text and phrase output is. While entering Latin alphabet based text into cellphone keyboards is exasperating, as one can imagine Chinese with its thousands of characters is even more of a challenge.
