simpliWrite® Chinese is a powerful, highly accurate text and data input solution for implementation on mobile devices produced for the emerging Chinese market.

A software-only solution designed especially to address the serious challenges that the complexities of the Chinese language pose to cellular handset and smartphone manufacturers, simpliWrite Chinese enables users to input text and data easily so that they can utilize the advanced features that these phones offer. As a result, users can now effortlessly employ functions such as short messaging services (SMS), m-commerce applications, contact data input, Web browsing and more.

Combining an accurate stroke recognition engine with effective prediction algorithms, simpliWrite Chinese is a fast, intuitive Chinese character recognizer. Users can enter complete characters in the writing area and Nuance's intuitive on-the-fly recognizer immediately displays the options provided by that input.

Based on Nuance's market-proven simpliWrite technology deployed by the world's leading OEMs, simpliWrite Chinese seamlessly integrates character, number, symbol, and punctuation input without any additional operations on the part of the user.

Featuring a vocabulary of 6,763 characters in simplified Chinese (GB 2312) and 13,051 characters in traditional Chinese (BIG 5: 5,401 frequently used characters and 7,650 less frequently used characters), simpliWrite Chinese is appropriate for both mainland Chinese and the large international Chinese population.

Designed for use on all platforms employing a touch screen and stylus or other input methods, simpliWrite Chinese inherits all the virtues of the Nuance simpliWrite product line—simplicity of use, accuracy, speed, a small footprint, compatibility with all embedded operating systems, such as Symbian, Palm, Windows CE, and more. As with all the embedded, software-only solutions from Nuance, simpliWrite Chinese has been created particularly for use in the low processing-power and small-memory environment of mobile devices, and significantly reduces development resources and improves time to market.
