FastForms is a free standing, bilingual, automated, electronic voice and touch screen interactive kiosk that provides customers with fully completed or blank legal forms. The highly advanced computerized interactive kiosk is an alternative method for providing important legal forms and information to the public. Because of its interactive Spanish speaking host, the kiosk has been extremely welcomed by the Hispanic community in Miami.

Espindola, a Cuban native, has been separated from his wife for nearly eight months now. Although, she is not contesting the divorce, they had not started divorce procedures because they were not able to fill out the divorce forms themselves and they could not afford an attorney. "I don't understand the legal terms [used in the divorce forms in English," said Espindola " and a lawyer just wanted too much money."

With working individuals like Espindola in mind, Interactive Technologies International, Inc. and The Check Cashing Stores decided to join forces in bringing this very important affordable legal service to the public. "We thought, 'Why not provide a place for people to obtain and fill out their legal forms that is convenient and accessible?' and The Check Cashing Stores immediately came to mind" said Ian Gardner, Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Technologies International, Inc., "they have a comfortable and stress-free environment and they are opened seven days a week and have long hours."

Located inside Florida's The Check Cashing Stores at 8019 W. Sample Road in Coral Springs, 2903 S. State Road 7 in Hollywood, and 11766 N. Kendall Drive in Miami, FastForms permit people to select from a number of customized court approved simplified forms such as: Divorce, Bill of Sale, Promissory Note, Will, Living Trust, Residential Leases, and Incorporation. Prices start at $10 for simple forms such as a Bill of Sale and go up to $39 for a more extensive form such as Divorce. Additionally, and for a short time, the kiosks are offering free Living Wills.

FastForms is easy to use and is accessible to the handicapped. By touching the screen, customers can receive simple precise audio and video directions to complete their selected forms. Consumers simply respond to questions by touching the screen, and entering all the information asked.

It took Espindola about twenty-five minutes of interacting with the kiosk to complete his divorce form. The kiosk then printed out a completed divorce form along with filing instructions and the Courthouse where to file. As Espindola leaves the kiosk, another customer is mesmerized by the high tech advertisement on the screen. If "a picture is worth a thousand words," how many words can a talking moving picture relate?

Consumers love the stereo sounds, full motion video and easiness of using touch-screen technology. Marketers love the timeliness and demography options that the kiosks provide them with. So why not utilize FastForms kiosks as creative advertising vehicles? Marketers can reach demographic groups where they gather and inexpensively and quickly change ad campaigns, pricing, or dispense coupon specials. Companies can advertise their products and services with actual product images and sounds and even play infomercials at the kiosks.

"Interactive communication has become a universal marketing approach. Today's consumers want and expect direct interaction with companies before purchasing products," said Gardner, "Companies are responding to consumers' desire for information and they provide this with an interactive kiosk." Espindola has left the store with his divorce papers at hand. Meanwhile, FastForms is giving a quick tutorial on its use to another gentleman.

Last month, Interactive Technologies International announced the placement of their FastForms kiosk in Mail Boxes Etcetera. FastForms kiosks are expected to expand nationally this year. In their software line of legal products, the company also has developed a kiosk that allows drivers to pay for traffic tickets right at the kiosk.
