Hi Mike,
Well for some people Talking Prescriptions work well.
I looked at something like this at the NFB of Ohio State Convention in 2011.
Each pill was in a separate flat package with thirty little slots.
You would have to read the particular package, dig out a Pill and go to the next one.
Personally I think Prescription Pill Bottles are easier.
For those who can't read braille and feel little things that would attach to the bottle this is a good thing.
I just do not have the patience for these kind of gadgets.
I did post your announcement on ohio-talk because I think some people will use it.
