## What is Medication Label Helper?

Medication Helper makes it easy to understand your medication labels. Just point your iPhone camera at a medicine bottle, and the app reads the label for you — telling you what the medicine is, how much to take, when to take it, and what to watch out for.

DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE • Large, clear text that's easy to read • Voice reads your medication info aloud • Simple two-tap workflow — scan, then review • Works great with VoiceOver

HOW IT WORKS

Point your camera at the medication label
The app scans the barcode and text automatically
Review a clear summary: medicine name, dose, timing, and warnings
Save it to your medications for easy reference later
SMART IDENTIFICATION • Automatically detects barcodes and NDC codes • Looks up official drug information from the FDA database • Falls back to on-device text recognition when needed • Take up to 6 photos to capture every side of the label

YOUR DATA STAYS PRIVATE • All photos are processed on your iPhone — nothing is uploaded • Saved medications are stored locally on your device • No accounts, no tracking, no ads

HELPFUL FEATURES • Read Aloud — hear the medication instructions spoken clearly • Edit any field if you need to correct something • Share medication info with a caregiver • Add reminders to Apple Reminders • Dark mode support

Built for older adults, caregivers, and anyone who finds small medication labels hard to read.
