ScripTalk Talking Prescriptions
Can we talk?
You bet we can!
About ScripTalk
When a pharmacist fills a prescription, an “all-too-familiar” label is printed and
affixed to the pill bottle or medicine container.
But, an obvious problem arises for the millions of patients that have difficulty
reading these extremely important labels.
Currently, those with sight impairments, dyslexia or reading difficulties must rely on the assistance of others to determine the contents and instructions on their medications.
ScripTalk allows those who cannot read their prescription label, a better way to manage their own medication. The product uses smart-label and speech synthesis technologies to verbalize the users’ prescription information.
About Talking LabelsTalking labels work by connecting a tiny microchip to a small, paper-thin antenna. When a Talking Label is within range, the ScripTalk reader sends a signal that energizes the Talking Label which, in turn, sends the stored information back to the reader.
The Talking Label can be read as many times as necessary. Since it is inexpensive, when you’re done with the prescription, throw it away. Where Can I Get ScripTalk Talking Labels?Talking Labels are available at any pharmacy that retails the device. When you request a Talking Label, the pharmacy prints and programs the special lable and places it on your prescription along with the standard prescription label. From that point forward, you will have all the information needed for safety and independence.
Can We Talk?It’s Easy to Use! Move the prescription within an inch of the ScripTalk reader and you will hear all the label information spoken to you.
Information such as: patient name, drug name, dosage, instructions, warnings, prescription number, along with the pharmacy name and phone number are converted into speech.
