This is just something to consider, for those of us who take prescription medications.

Hello,

I just wanted to inform you of a new program that Walgreens is rolling out, 
for people who are visually impaired or totally blind.  Script Talk is a 
machine that has special technology to read preprinted labels on 
medications, so that all dosing instructions, patient information, side 
effects, refills and doctor's name, are all read audibly, through the 
machine.
The pharmacist places a special censor on the medication bottle, and you 
place the bottle over the Script Talk machine.  In a clear, female voice, 
the machine reads all information, that is on the printed pamphlet, provided 
with patient's medication.
This machine is currently being given for free, and we just obtained ours 
yesterday.  It's quite small, about the size of a portable CD player, has an 
adaptor, but it can also be used with two double A batteries.

Call your local Walgreens, to see if this machine is currently available in 
your area.


Please feel free to pass this message to anyone you think it may be of 
interest to.
