Gainde 2000 has showcased its research project ORBUS SIGN at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas from 9-12 January 2018

ORBUS SIGN is a digital voice signature solution that aims to allow users the option of signing electronically by pronouncing a word or expression. Conceived for signing one or multiple electronic documents by voice recognition, ORBUS SIGN integrates biometric software capable of recording a unique 'voiceprint', comparable to a fingerprint or retina pattern. Once the voiceprint has been recorded, it can be used to verify the identity of a person in the next signature process.

According to Ibrahima Nour Eddine Diagne, general manager at Gainde 2000, “ORBUS SIGN eliminates handwritten signatures in a long process generally entailing the printing, distribution and waiting for signed documents to be sent and returned.”

“It is also a solution that brings a simple alternative, particularly in Africa, where illiteracy is nearly 40 per cent,” he added.

Diagne noted that ORBUS SIGN is also useful for people with disabilities who are unable to produce a handwritten signature, though professionals seeking speed and effectiveness could also benefit from the solution regardless of their qualifications.

Created in 2002, the company develop and run the ORBUS one-stop shop with a view to simplifying the formalities of international trade. With 15 years of experience, GAINDE 2000 has become one of the African leaders in the dematerialisation of administrative formalities, digital security and electronic payments with deployed solutions in five countries and internationally rendered consulting services.
