[Nfbc-info] right Aid

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I checked out this system. It sounds a lot better than the "talking vials"
Kaiser uses. I wonder how we could get Kaiser to switch. 

The talking vials are wide and take up a lot of room, compared to the
bottles. The bottles do not fit in them very well at all and often fall out,
which makes the vials useless. A pharmacy employee records the prescription
info which allows for error. After one collects a pile of vials one needs to
send/take them back to the pharmacy. Sometimes if you drop the vial or
accidentally immerse it in water in the sink as it falls in, the recording
is erased. I know from experience. 

It sounds like en-vision's system is less problematic, although, in the
demo, the speech is waaaaaaaaay too slow.
Thanks
Lauren

Hello,
Cvs is part of the program that En-vision America supports.
You should contact En-vision America and they will help you get a machine
which will allow the prescription bottles to be spoken to you.
Hope this helps,

The national Federation of the blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want.
Blindness is not what holds you back.
