There was some confusion about whether or not there should have been an
attachment.  No, there was not.  Tim has an NFB logo in his signature.

All the info for the Walgreen program is in the body of his email.

This may be of use to some of you so we're passing it on.

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.
