As reported in the Spring 2014 Low Vision Resource Center Newsletter by Dr. Hoang, CVS Pharmacy now provides ScripTalk talking prescription labels for prescriptions ordered for home delivery through its online pharmacy, CVS.com. The ScripTalk labels provide a safe and convenient way to access information on prescription labels for individuals who cannot read standard print. The ScripTalk labels are free to CVS.com pharmacy customers who are blind or visually impaired.
Customers can also obtain a free ScripTalk Reader from Envision America that will enable them to listen to the information on the ScripTalk label. Currently, there are many people that have difficulty reading or understanding the contents and instructions of their prescription medications. The small print and look-alike packaging of medicine vials can lead to confusion, non-compliance and mistakes. Envision America has created a solution to this serious issue with ScripTalk Station.
