Most doctors don't need this

Set up your SafeKey

The SafeKey is only for desktop / Citrix / locked-down hospital EMRs where you can't install our browser extension. If your EMR runs in Chrome, you don't need any hardware — just add the free Chrome extension.

🖥️
Use a desktop Chrome or Edge browser to flash. Flashing isn't supported on Safari, Firefox, or phones — it needs the browser's USB serial access. (Once flashed, the dongle works on any computer.)

Get the hardware

The SafeKey runs on a LILYGO T-Dongle-S3 — an off-the-shelf USB key (~$15–20). Grab one from any of these:

2

Plug it in & flash

Plug the T-Dongle-S3 into a USB port on your desktop, then click below and pick its serial port. Flashing takes about 10–15 seconds.

⚠️ This browser can't flash — please open this page in desktop Chrome or Edge. ⚠️ Open this page over https in desktop Chrome or Edge.

Not detected? Unplug it, hold the small BOOT button, plug it back in while holding, then click Flash. Release the button once flashing starts.

Open NeoDoc & pair

Open the NeoDoc app on your iPhone and pair to the SafeKey. It hands over its encryption key automatically — nothing to type. Now dictate, and your note types straight into any EMR field on that computer.


Everything stays on your devices — the note is decrypted locally and typed in over a secure connection.
