The Girl Tech Password Journal, in addition to occasionally providing false positives, has a high incidence of false negatives. More often than not, users of the GTPJ are left repeating their passwords, locked out from their most private thoughts, even when they use it every day. In retrospect, "on the march" may have been a overstatement. -Eric Lauren,

I will have you know the speech recognition capabilities were (are?) quite phenomenal. So much so, that it kept out my nosy older brother from my all of my deep, dark, 10-year-old thoughts and secrets. Seriously, it would never let his voice pass for mine. I'd say the main flaw of the device rests with its user adoption and maintenance. You see, after a good nine days of telling this little notebook about my playground adventures, I grew bored of it and put it in a drawer among my Barbies with missing heads. Then when I went back a few months later to rekindle my friendship with Girl Tech, it would not recognize my audible password. Had my voice changed? I think not. Was I upset? I think so. My only hope is that the technology is that much more sophisticated now to save other girls the misfortune I experienced with My Secret Diary.
