> ScripTalk!

> At Septembers Tec training, we had a discussion on how to distinguish 
> your different medications. We thought we would set up a webinar that 
> would assist individuals on a way to do this!

> On Saturday, October 16, 2021 at 10:00AM eastern. The Computer Science 
> & Technology Division will have a representative from En-Vision America 
> to tell us all about ScripTalk!

> ScripTalk Talking Labels
> If you or a loved one has trouble reading prescription medication 
> labels then ScripTalk is the solution for you. This is a FREE, 
> easy-to-use service available at thousands of pharmacies throughout the 
> United States and Canada that will read all your medication information 
> out loud.

> In the United States alone, the Food and Drug Administration estimates 
> that about 1.3 million people are injured by medication errors each 
> year.  For those who can’t see to read their medication labels, talking 
> prescription labels can be crucial to ensuring medication safety and adherence.

> No ScripTalk users reported experiencing a medication error related to 
> mixing up medications or taking the wrong medication/dosage since using 
> ScripTalk.

> HOW IT WORKS
> A pharmacist programs a small electronic label with all your 
> prescription information, including drug name, dosage, instructions, 
> warnings, pharmacy information, doctor name, prescription number, date 
> and more. The tag relies on RFID and text-to-speech technology.

> The pharmacist places the tag on your prescription medication and you 
> can use a free mobile ScripTalk App to hear all the information read 
> out loud. Simply download the App from the App Store or Google Play, 
> click the “scan” button and hold the bottle up to either the front of 
> the screen (iPhones) or back of the phone case near the camera (Androids).

> Alternatively, the patient can use a ScripTalk Station, which is about 
> the size of an old, portable CD player or phone message machine. Simply 
> place the pill bottle on the machine and press the “Read” button. The 
> two triangle buttons on either side of the oval read button can be used 
> to jump forward or back through the prescription information. There is 
> small wheel on the right side of the machine which can be moved to turn 
> the machine on and turn up the volume.
