> 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.
