>> 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.
