Correction
The Talking Rx, listed in "Here and There" in July, does not involve a computer chip embedded in a label. It is a prescription bottle holder that can record a 60-second message telling what the medication is, what it's for, and what dose to take when. It is available from Vision Dynamics, (203) 271-1944; Independent Living Aids, (800) 537-2118; and Speak to me!, (800) 248-9965. Vision Dynamics sells it for $24.95.
The American Council of the Blind strives to increase the independence, security, equality of opportunity, and to improve quality of life for all blind and visually impaired people.
