I know somebody who uses Scrip Talk and is very happy with it. If you get mail 
order prescriptions, you can request Braille labeling. I have used both 
Caremark and Express Script, and Braille labels are on the bottles or boxes.

Have you heard of the script talk?
I use it.
A machine that reads the bar code off the medication bottles.
You have to work with your pharmacy to provide the bar lables placed at the 
bottom of your medication bottles.
Contact me for more info or contact envision America. They can supply your with 
the machine.
You can also use a braillle labler and lable it If you have access to a quest, 
that works as well If you only have one or two maybe a rubberbnd around one?
I have way to many so the script talk works great sugar

Hello Rich
Everyone here has been so helpful, I love all the ideas for helping me with my 
meat situation freezing hope the word meat is spelled right LOL that idea of 
buying or of getting business cards and laminating them is an awesome idea I 
should try that I do have a whole puncher and of course I can buy rubber bands 
or some kind a plastic tie so that way the use of wear and tear, also where can 
one get a laminate machine? 
Thanks to everyone for all your ideas, and when I use them I will let you know 
how they worked thanks again and to all of you have an awesome Easter and be 
safe if you are going anywhere

Re: [CnD] freezing meat and labeling it: Labeling Medication: ScripTalk Station Provided by En-Vision America

2019-04-20 Thread Helen Whitehead via Cookinginthedark
ebpage created on your local 
system.
Your information is not shared or transmitted over the Internet. I tested the 
software using a Windows 7 64-bit Dell PC running Window-Eyes version 8.2
and both Internet Explorer version 10 and Firefox version 20. Happily, the 
webpages are created using basic HTML, so no matter what screen reader, screen
magnifier, or braille display you use, if you can read a standard webpage, you 
should have no trouble reviewing prescription information.

With the ScripTalk User software running, scan a prescription bottle as 
described previously. ScripTalk will voice the information as before, but after
three or four seconds, your browser will pop up and display the exact same 
information. I found it slightly annoying that even when connected to the PC
the ScripTalk Station continued to voice the information, causing a bit of 
auditory confusion as both the unit and my screen reader began voicing the same
information at different starting times, but I was able to silence the 
ScripTalk with a second press of the "Read" button.

The ScripTalk User software is a must-have for deaf-blind individuals and 
others who wish to access their prescription data via a braille display or 
screen
magnification. However, even if you are perfectly satisfied having your 
prescription label voiced by the ScripTalk Station, there is still a good reason
to install and run the software.

The prescription data webpage created by the ScripTalk User software includes a 
hyperlink to the medication's Patient Information Monograph. This 
fully-accessible
text version of the same booklet or insert pharmacists include with most 
medications is chock full of additional information about the medication, how
it works, how to take it, and what side effects may result.

Receiving a ScripTalk Station on Permanent Loan

For several years the Veterans Administration has been providing its sight 
impaired clients with free ScripTalk Stations, and they recently broadened their
program to include soldiers who return from combat with traumatic brain 
injuries that impair their ability to comprehend printed materials.

More recently, En-Vision America itself has begun providing units free of 
charge on a long-term loan as part of their Pharmacy Freedom Program. To 
qualify,
all you need to do is arrange to have your prescriptions filled by a 
participating pharmacy.
A complete list of participating pharmacies
 can be found on the company's website, which can be searched by state or zip 
code. I tried my own small town zip code, and the nearest brick and mortar
pharmacy was a Sam's Club nearly 25 miles away. However, the list also included 
five mail order services, including CVS Caremark, Kohl's Pharmacy & Homecare,
and Wal-Mart's mail order prescription service.

The Bottom Line

The ScripTalk Station does one job, and it does it well. Any quibbles I have 
with the design and feature set are minor and do not affect the device's 
usability.

The ScripTalk Station would be a valuable resource for many visually impaired 
and deaf-blind individuals. The free long-term loan broadens the device's
appeal significantly, but not everyone can benefit from it. My own health 
coverage, for instance, will soon involve a requirement that I use Express 
Scripts
for my prescriptions. Currently, they do not participate in the Pharmacy 
Freedom program, but hopefully, they and many other pharmacies will join soon
and make universal prescription label access a true reality.

Re: [CnD] freezing meat and labeling it

2019-04-20 Thread Christy L via Cookinginthedark

The best way I've found to label medication is to use th labeling tape
that comes in a braill labeler and label it.. For example if it's
adville for instance you would write adv or ad. Just depends on what you
label... But that's how I would do that. I hope this helps you.

I also have an id mate barcode scanner, which I made my own barcode labels
and did the same business card thing and it works very well also.

For the ones I barcoded I made a duplicate label and put it on a index card
so I can just scan the index cards and see what I have to shccose from
without rummaging in the freezer.

Let me know if I can help any other way.

Usually when I buy meat I get the value packs. Then I take it home and use the 
food saver to vacuum seal it. Then I put a dime or tape label on it and packing 
tape over that or scotch tape. I can still read the label and it tends not to 
fall off that way
