Superior Recognition

Decuma™ recognizes 100% naturally shaped letters in upper and lower cases, numbers and symbols/punctuation. There is no need to adjust to a particular writing style, learn a special alphabet, or manually switch between character sets or input modes.

Prediction In Alphabetic Languages

Decuma Alphabetic has the capability to predict whole words as a user is writing each letter. Prediction opens up a new experience to users, delivering speed and usability surpassed by simply handwriting each and every letter or character of a word.

Decuma Alphabetic has more than doubled its coverage to 70 languages - and this coverage has been extended into prediction - to include markets in the Americas, Western and Eastern Europe and Asia-Pacific. Decuma Alphabetic supports the following Zi prediction features:

  • Word completion to predict full words without the need to write every letter
  • Dual language messaging to predict full words in two alphabetic languages






The user-entered word "vodcast" is predicted quickly in subsequent pen-input.

Real Personalization

Personalization features increase input speed and prediction for the vocabulary most important to the user - their own. Decuma personalization features for alphabetic languages include:

  • User-defined shortcuts to create shorthand for predicting words or phrases
  • Used Word Dictionary to track and promote personal vocabulary preferences as priority-ranked predictions
  • Personal Dictionary to record the user's own vocabulary entries including lingo, words and phrases for subsequent prediction
