BCABVI is the acronym for Bucks County Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

At our meeting on Aug 7, 2013, Anne Marie Hyer gave a very informative talk about visual impairment, its causes, examples of what its like to have a visual impairment, and some of the new tools and devices to help people.

 

 
One of the amazing new devices is a thing called ScripTalk. It's basically a smart label (like an RFID chip) attached to your prescription bottle. You put the prescription bottle on a reader device and it verbally tells you what the pills are and when to take them. How cool is that?
