After a trial run last year, Spoken Rx audio prescription labels will be available in all of the drugstores of the company. The feature, developed as part of a collaboration with the American Council of the Blind, is part of the mobile app of the pharmacy.
To use the spoken labels, patients need to register for a pharmacy account, download a phone app, and enroll in Spoken Rx. The patient's future prescription labels will be tagged. The process can be done over the phone or in person. When a patient holds a prescription bottle four inches from their phone, the app reads out the information on the label. There are also options for large-print labels on prescription bottles.

The manager of retail communications for the pharmacy said that if a patient doesn't have a phone, they can request a separate speaker device. Blanchette said there are no plans to expand the feature to read labels from other pharmacies.
Eric Bridges is the executive director of the American Council of the Blind. Bridges said thatSpoken Rx allows for a greater level of privacy, safety and independence for blind and visually impaired customers.
