In a press release, Zi Corporation announced an exclusive agreement
with Nintendo to embed its text input technology, eZiText, into Wii.
"Nintendo
is a worldwide leader in video game systems and has a reputation for
bringing innovative technology to the market," said Milos Djokovic,
president and CEO of Zi Corporation. "By embedding eZiText in Wii,
Nintendo is empowering its customer with a more user friendly method
for text input."
Zi Corporation previously implemented its
Decuma handwriting recognition technology into the Nintendo DS. In what
way exactly eZiText will be used for Wii is unknown at this time,
though it will presumably find application in places such as the Wii
Message Board.
