Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced the
availability of a customized Swype keyboard integrated with Huawei’s
flagship Emotion UI device lineup. Available globally, Huawei’s
exclusive Swype keyboard experience lets people trace, tap, and write in
over 70 languages.
Swype for Huawei was designed with input from Huawei’s Emotion UI
experience team to provide Huawei consumers with the fastest and most
accurate text input available. Further, Swype for Huawei has a specially
designed one-handed input that makes tracing and tapping a breeze with
just your thumb. Swype for Huawei’s keyboard even includes an exclusive
layout optimized for the Chinese language.
“Huawei Emotion UI is built to evoke a powerful, emotional experience.
We worked with Nuance to design an incredibly intuitive and customized
Swype keyboard that lets our consumers express what they want, when they
want – optimized for our flagship device lineup,” said Jervis Su, vice
head of research and development, Huawei Device.
Swype for Huawei brings together the best of both worlds – an optimized
experience for Emotion UI and many of the opt-in Swype features that
make it the most successful predictive continuous touch keyboard – such
as Swype’s connected Living Language, an opt-in based end-user service,
that updates top trending words and phrases through global
crowd-sourcing. Consumers also have the option to personalize
dictionaries and language models directly from Nuance that follow users
from device to device with the ability to download more than 70
different languages and dialects—made possible by Nuance
Cloud Services.
“Swype was designed to be flexible and customizable for both consumers
and OEMs – a combination that takes keyboard personalization to a new
level,” said Aaron Sheedy, vice president of mobile devices, Nuance
Mobile. “Working with Huawei, we have designed a keyboard for the
Emotion UI flagship device lineup that further enhances the speed,
accuracy and customization that only Swype can offer.”
