KeyPoint Technologies (News - Alert), a provider of user interface technology, and DIOTEK Co., a provider of mobile software solutions, have become partners to distribute KeyPoint’s Adaptxt smart keyboard technology to makers of mobile devices worldwide.

DIOTEK provides mobile-convergence applications such as handwriting-recognition, dictionaries, optical character recognition (OCR), voice-recognition and other value-added software solutions to more than 70 major manufacturers of mobile devices. The company’s client list includes companies like Samsung, LG, HTC, Sony-Ericsson, Motorola, Fujitsu (News - Alert) and Hewlett-Packard.

DIOTEK can now use KeyPoint's Adaptxt smart keyboard technology into a range of products sold to OEMs and end users, including smartphones, tablets, TVs and autos.

Different from other traditional predictive solutions, Adaptxt is an innovative text technology that uses artificial linguistic intelligence to identify the unique words and phrases that each person uses and then adds them to a personalized custom dictionary.

Adaptxt includes automatic text replacement, a split keyboard, language-specific keyboard layouts, quickly switching between languages and the ability to add and delete words from personal dictionaries. ADAPTXT's smart keyboard applications make human and machine interaction dramatically more enjoyable, personal and accurate.

"We couldn't be more pleased to partner with DIOTEK," said KeyPoint CEO Sumit Goswami, in a statement. "The agreement means that DIOTEK's diverse set of solutions will be expanded to include Adaptxt's artificial intelligence that quickly masters the highly personalized nuances of how each user writes using their smartphone keyboard."

DIOTEK CEO, Dr. Jeong-In Doh, said, "Adding Adaptxt technology to the wide range of capabilities we already offer is a real coup for DIOTEK. We believe that having the Adaptxt smart keyboard in the array of solutions we offer OEMs gives us an unsurpassed portfolio of mobile technology capabilities."
