[Electronics-talk] Talking Pill from Walgreens

Hi all, 

I'm certain this device will go by various names depending on the pharmacy one obtains it from.  I believe this is being provided by accessameds.  One can go to:

This is a device to assist blind and visually impaired individuals so they will know what prescription they are taking if they are unable to read the bottles. The device is about the size of a bottle cap and it attaches to the bottom of the bottle or box of prescription medication. The buttons have dots on them and the button with a single dot is the talk button and the button with two dots is a timer button. The pharmacist records the information such as the patient's name, prescription number, physician who ordered the prescription and the instructions on how to take the medication. The pharmacist can also record information such as which medications if any it will interact with. It's not a synthesizer computer voice and it's the actual person who is filling the medication and it's their own voice. You can also stop and start the information if necessary. If you call in a pirscription, then let the call center know that you want the talking pill to be placed on your bottles and you will have to sign a vouture to get this device for free. If you know anyone who is need of this device please spread the word!
