Zi Corporation’s Decuma interacting with real world at MEX London
Mike Grenville of 160Characters.org handed out his 2006 Global Messaging Awards at a ceremony in London last week, and in the category 'Most effective device or software for data input' Zi Corporation's Decuma# predictive handwriting system won the top prize.

#(Decuma, which is based on technology Zi acquired from the Swedish company of the same name, combines a predictive text engine with handwriting input. Rather than tapping keys to auto-complete a word, Decuma suggests possible answers as you write letters on the screen. From the website - Decuma® is an interactive handwriting input product from Zi that mimics how humans write with pen on paper - naturally and efficiently - in a broad range of languages.)
