There's also a company called Accessible Pharmacy which I recently heard about. They can provide prescription info using Envision, WayAround, large print, and Braille. I'm not sure how detailed either the large print and Braille would be in terms of prescription information, which is why I would want to use the option for WayAround. Also, I already use WayAround for tagging a bunch of stuff around my house, so it makes sense for me to use that over ScripTalk.
Anyhow, they'll also mail you your meds, and you can even get non-prescription meds, and even meds for pets! I'm not sure if they're available in Canada, but they are only available in about half the United States as of now. Their website is: www.accessiblepharmacy.com Thanks, Ari > On Nov 26, 2022, at 2:21 PM, Richard Turner <richardr_tur...@comcast.net> > wrote: > > I'm not Ed, > But in Ed's first line he stated: >> I wrote this letter out to people in Aberdeen where I live. > > I would presume that is Aberdeen, Canada... > > I don't think he said it was easy, you have to convince your local Walmart to > check with Corporate if they are not aware of the service, then you probably > have to call Envision America to get them to contact the local store and get > the message through to them. > That is not easy. > > But, it is necessary and will benefit everyone with any reading impairment. > > > > Richard, USA. > “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” > -- Jane Wagner from The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe > > My web site: https://www.turner42.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Lyne > Sent: Saturday, November 26, 2022 11:16 AM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Reading prescription labels > > Hello, > Where are you from?
