FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DEAF-BLIND NOW HAVE OPPORTUNITY FOR ACCESSIBLE PRESCRIPTIONS
New ScripTalk User Software can connect to Braille display hardware.
Normal, IL. - (January 20, 2014) For those who are deaf-blind, finding ways
to identify prescriptions and all their fine print can be a challenge. For
those with Braille display devices, the newly introduced ScripTalk User
Software by En-Vision America, Inc. finally provides a safe and independent
solution.
"We would go to conferences and talk to blind users who were glad labels
were finally accessible for the blind, but we repeatedly were asked if any
of our products would work for their deaf-blind friends. When we began
development on the ScripTalk User Software for large print display on a
personal computer, we used the opportunity to include in the design the
ability to export text to a Braille display devices as well. The benefit of
this over basic Braille labels is that all the information on the label can
be accessed, not just the drug name and dose-- including warnings, refill
and pharmacy contact information." comments Amanda Tolson, Pharmacy
Relations Mangager for En-Vision America.
ScripTalk audible prescription labels have been available at select
pharmacies and VA hospitals for 17 years. In 2013 En-Vision America
introduced the expanded ScripAbility suite of accessible label options:
. ScripTalk Talking Labels
. ScripTalk User Software
. ScripView large print labels (w/ and w/o 2D barcode for detailed
information via smartphone)
. and Braille Labels.
