It is far safer to use a service like Aira where the people are licensed and
bonded as well as trained for this kind of personal information if you don’t
have access to something like ScriptTalk through your pharmacy. Push the
pharmacy to begin using accessible label systems.

LIDAR is not OCR. Perhaps the built-in text recognition in the camera could do
it these days, but the best is getting the pharmacy to use an accessible label
like through ScriptTalk.

If you're using the short text function in Seeing AI, sometimes these kinds of
labels could pose a problem. I've had better luck using the document channel.

Hi All,
I wrote this letter out to people in Aberdeen where I live. Where ever you live
you have to talk to your Walmart store and request the scrip talk if they do
not have it. Just to let you know they probably are going to tell you they
don't have it and can't get it. But this is not correct.
I don't know about the US, but here in Canada internet via a cellular
modem/smart hub or whatever they call it is rather expensive and often has low
data caps. As I said, this may be different in the US, but I would definitely

And of course it all depends on whether you get really good cell reception and
if so from which provider, e.g. AT&T, T-Online, Sprint, Verizon. You would have
