> Hello,
>
> I just wanted to inform you of a new program that Walgreens is rolling
> out, for people who are visually impaired or totally blind. Script Talk is
> a
> machine that has special technology to read preprinted labels on
> medications, so that all dosing instructions, patient information, side
> effects, refills and doctor's name, are all read audibly, through the
> machine.
> The pharmacist places a special censor on the medication bottle, and you
> place the bottle over the Script Talk machine. In a clear, female voice,
> the machine reads all information, that is on the printed pamphlet,
> provided
> with patient's medication.
> This machine is currently being given for free, and we just obtained ours
> yesterday. It's quite small, about the size of a portable CD player, has
> an
> adapter, but it can also be used with two double A batteries.
>
> Call your local Walgreens, to see if this machine is currently available
> in
> your area.
>
> Please feel free to pass this message to anyone you think it may be of
> interest to.
