Yes & no. For Mainland China it's only an added convenience cos the pronounciations have official translation using latin alphabets, & u have to learn it at school. For Japan & Korea that's not a problem cos the Hangul & Kana system are all standardised & for years their domestic systems doesn't use handwriting recognition.
The other Asian markets are not big enough to warrant such a product development.
The reason why BMW did this is cos Audi had it on their MMI since 2010.
