Talking Products, Talking Label for Medication Management Labelling. Voice Recordable 20 Seconds. Independent Living Aid That Provides Audible Guidance for Identifying and Taking Medications

This is a useful ‘talking label’ where someone is unable to read the contents of a packet. It may be the person is blind or partially sighted requiring this to independently take their own medication. Or it might be a temporary situation say due to an operation or maybe someone not able to wear their glasses for a while.There are a number of ‘talking labels’ in many forms around but this is particularly useful for medication packets as it has a metal fastening that clips on the side of the packet securely with a large button on the front to hear the message.You can record up to a 20 second message so information, particularly if it’s a lot, will need to be succinct. I found it took a few times to get all the info on I wanted - but you can record over if the correct button is pressed at the back. However this is difficult to do accidentally as it requires a sharp point, like a pencil, to push the button while recording.It is very easy to record onto this with very clear instructions both written and with clear pictures. With batteries included it is ready to go. At a standard price for this sort of thing its thinness and streamline shape means it doesn’t add too much bulk onto the medicine packet.

I'm using this in a quite unique way. I attach the device to a sheet of paper with a photo or card with an image of an object of action. The person without speech can then press the button to request the object or to request an action, "I want a drink" "I need the toilet" "Hello. my name is ..." etc. It's a great way of getting started with AAC for children and adults without speech. I would usually start with two choices "Yes/No" and then gradually expand

This Talking Label device is nicely designed in my opinion. There is a 20 second recording time, so medication instructions, time of day, dosage, etc. can be recorded into one message. The metal clip on the back makes it easy to attach to most boxed or similarly packaged items. This may come in handy for people with sight impairments. The messages can be erased and re-recorded as needed. It requires a fine tip instrument, such as a pen, to press the record button, so messages are not easily lost or recorded over. However, I was able to press it with just the edge of my finger nail.Of course, this device isn’t limited to use with medications. It’s great for any message recording that needs to be preserved and replayed. It’s wonderful for use in recording messages as reminders, instructions for the kids, or even grocery lists. I think it’s a very versatile device. The only other thing I wanted to mention is that there isn’t any volume control. If the playback isn’t loud enough for the user’s needs, it may be an issue.
