[NFB-Idaho] CVS "Spoken Rx" and braille and large print

[Erin A. Olsen]

I have not had any personal experience with it. I have attended three different seminars on it though and, from those presentations, it sounds like it could be a useful option for many of us! In my capacity as the health promotions specialist at Commission on Aging, I have posted information about it as an option to older Idahoans with any variety of visual challenges who have difficulty reading prescription labels...like even those with good eyesight don't also have challenges doing so. 😊 -Erin

I don’t plan to make life a journey to the grave arriving safely in a pretty,  well preserved package.
I’m going to arrive skidding in broadside, well worn and exhausted
with a lifetime of experiences and loudly proclaiming, “WOW! What an adventure!” ☺

Subject: [NFB-Idaho] CVS "Spoken Rx" and braille and large print

Has anyone had any experience with the "Spoken Rx" service from CVS? It promises text-to-speech reading of prescriptions using the CVS app on a smartphone.

The following story describes the service.

The story indicates CVS also provides braille and large print. Has anyone had experience with those services?

Best wishes for the New Year! 2022 has a lot to make up for!!
