Press Release: Philips Launches New USB Smart Key for Dictation Product Line.

Philips is the first company to offer such a tool, which replaces current dongles and older security codes that had to be manually typed in. The USB Smart Key is now packaged with Philips SpeechExec Pro Dictate and Philips SpeechExec Pro Transcribe, as well as Transcribe software packages.

The USB Smart Key can simply be inserted into a USB port and the software will automatically access the license stored on the key.

If a user wishes to work with the dictation software on an office computer as well as a computer at home, the USB Smart Key allows him or her to switch from one computer to another without having to purchase a second license.

Vital Key is offering a new service whereby medical records are distributed via USB for personal archive.

The trend is beginning where medical records are put to USB for immediate and on-site data sharing for life threatening situations. In a critical moment, time-is-life, and having data is a powerful tool for keeping someone out of harms way.

“It really gives you peace of mind to know that you have all your medical records with you,” said Jackie Dudding, a patient. “God forbid something happens, everything a caretaker needs to know is on this thing.”

Vital Key offers an on-line service to download all your medical records in the event the key is lost or misplaced.

One of the most powerful sentences on the Vital Key website is: “More Americans die each year from medical errors than from breast cancer, colon cancer, and car accidents – COMBINED.” That’s amazing and for anyone with a medical history or condition which requires special needs, I think the Vital Key is a vital device for your longevity and health.

How many would raise their hand if asked, “Do you use only two or three on-line passwords?“  I bet the number would be huge.  Unfortunately, having just a small handful of passwords isn’t the best way for on-line business and buying.  Today I bring you the Mandylion Password Manager which is a military grade device which can create, store and access 50 different log-in sequences.

The password manager comes with a Policy Master Configuration Software (Windows only) which connects via USB where by you can set and configure sequence options and group policy requirements.

The Mandylion Password Manager displays 14 characters and works with any setting such as length, alpha-numeric and special characters.  You can also set the password manager to regenerate passwords at preset time intervals (90 days, 1 year etc).   So with this device you can easily upgrade your weak password habits to that of uber-security-geek.

The device uses a 5 button keypad for navigation and data entry and a unique key pattern is the only way to unlock the device and get to your coveted 50 passwords.

This little unit has been designed to meet U.S. Military standards for secure creation of passwords (use authorized under Army Regulation 25-2 IA.) This device helps create a strong security policy for your work environment - so naturally you can brag to the boss about how security conscience you are.

The Mandylion Password Manager is available from ThinkGeek for only $49.
