OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian software maker Zi Corp said on Wednesday that it has signed a licensing deal for its Decuma handwriting recognition technology with Japan's Nintendo Co Ltd.

"With Decuma, Nintendo DS users will experience natural handwriting recognition previously only available to PDA and smartphone users," Zi chief operating officer Milos Djokovic said in a statement.
