> Hi Federation Family & Friends!
> 
> 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.
