i-agree is a UK-based legal/software SME with a core project team of Helen Cutler (solicitor/director of OmniSign) and Chris Fortune (software architect/director/CTO of OmniSign).1 in 5 UK adults are 'functionally illiterate', with younger people's literacy failing the fastest (Literacy Trust 2019). This means people may not fully read or understand the terms/conditions of contracts. Engagement with digital texts is even more superficial, the length and language used is overwhelming. It is simple and quick to click 'yes', and people may not realise they are entering into a legally binding agreement. There is currently no solution available that confirms people have understood a digital contract before signing. This can cost individuals and businesses time and money resolving issues such as legal disputes and loss of customer protection.i-agree is developing a platform that ensures 'key term substantiation' (testing of understanding) in an accessible format, using audio-visual technology that is legal and secure. This solution will combine text to speech, video generation, video recording and voice recognition to offer a verified video signature process.i-agree will enable everyone to create, execute and store legally binding agreements regardless of literacy levels or legal language knowledge. Post-contract disputes will be reduced and easier to resolve, as there will be accurate evidence of the agreement particulars that cannot be tampered with.Uniquely, i-agree will test users' understanding to ensure informed consent. The 'signature' will include a link to a video in which the user agrees the terms. This combination of a digital signature/consent video is a market first.

I-Agree是一家总部位于英国的法律/软件中小企业，由Helen Cutler（Omnisign的律师/总监）和Chris Fortune（Omnisign的软件架构师/总监/CTO）的核心项目团队。英国5名成年人在5个成年人中是“功能上的文盲”，年轻人的素养失败了（LILCERACY TRESSITAL TRASTALICY TRESSITAL 2019）。这意味着人们可能无法完全阅读或理解合同的条款/条件。与数字文本的互动更加肤浅，所使用的长度和语言是压倒性的。单击“是”非常简单，很快，人们可能没有意识到他们正在达成具有法律约束力的协议。目前尚无解决方案，可以确认人们在签署之前已经了解了数字合同。这可能会使个人和企业的时间和金钱解决问题，例如法律纠纷和客户保护的损失。该解决方案将将文本与语音，视频生成，视频录制和语音识别相结合，以提供经过验证的视频签名过程。Iagree将使每个人都能创建，执行和存储具有法律约束力的协议，而不管识字级别或法律语言知识如何。合同后纠纷将减少且更容易解决，因为将有准确的证据表明协议详细信息无法篡改。 “签名”将包括指向用户同意条款的视频的链接。数字签名/同意视频的这种组合首先是市场。
