Claudia,
Do you have any other information about Script Talk? I just called my local Walgreens and the 800-Walgreens number, and neither knew anything about this. Sounds like a great program. Thanks, Tom _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Claudia Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2009 7:51 PM To: Claudia Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Sript Talk Available at Walgreens 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 adaptor, 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. Claudia Join either of my groups; the first is for visually-impaired women, while the other is for people wishing to discuss homemaking issues. our-safe-haven- <mailto:our-safe-haven-subscribe%40googlegroups.com> [email protected] makinghouseworkeasi <mailto:makinghouseworkeasier-subscribe%40googlegroups.com> [email protected] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
