ScripTalk Station Overview

ScripTalk utilizes text-to-speech and RFID

(Radio Frequency Identification) technologies

to provide visually impaired pharmacy

patients the ability to hear prescription

information from each prescription container.

In the pharmacy, a pharmacist will key all

prescription label information into the

ScripAbility software. That data is then

transmitted from the ScripTalk device to

an RFID label that is affixed to the

patient's prescription container.

At home, a patient uses the ScripTalk device to decode the information from

the RFID label into an audible format of their prescription information.

Here is what you will have received:
