It may take some time before the new firmware is available for your region. Please check the latest availability at your local Nokia E7 support page.

Nokia BetaLabs : Nokia Diexie – Natural Chinese writing app

Posted: 15 Mar 2011 01:59 AM PDT

Today Nokia Betalabs released a new experimental app ‘Nokia Diexie’. Its a beta application for Chinese speakers that uses a unique Chinese character handwriting input technology developed under Nokia Research Center, Beijing to help write Chinese sentences on touchscreen phones naturally.

“Nokia Diexie (诺基亚叠写) is a unique Chinese character handwriting input technology designed specifically for smaller touch screen phones where writing out a full sentence just won't fit on a small screen. Nokia Diexie allows users to simply write a full sentence one character over another in a stacking style with using your pointer finger as a pen. (Diexie in Chinese means “overlapping handwriting“). As you begin writing the next character over the previous character, the previous character begins to fade away, creating an overlapped visual, allowing you to concentrate on finishing the next character.

Research has shown that this input method not only increases the overall user experience for Chinese character text input, but also increases the accuracy of the recognition to identify different handwriting styles. Nokia Diexie is an evolutionary iteration of the handwriting recognition technologies that were previously showcased in the Ovi Store with Nokia Handwriting Calculator and Nokia Continuous Handwriting Input.”

Nokia Diexie has been fully tested on Nokia N8 and Nokia N97 with Qt 4.6.3, but should work on all Symbian^3 and S60 5th Edition phones.

Please download the application and share your feedback with the Betalabs team.
