Wizzard Software Announces Stone Medical Pharmacy in Chicago As The Latest Retail Outlet for Rex - The Talking BottlePITTSBURGH --(Business Wire)-- March 3, 2005 -- Wizzard Software (OTCBB:WIZD) and MedivoxRx Technologies announced today that Stone Medical Pharmacy has added the Rex Starter and Refill Kits for personal use to their pharmacy shelves. A community fixture for over 30 years, Stone Pharmacy is located in Chicago within walking distance of Wrigley Field. Owner and operator of Stone Medical Pharmacy, Dr. Bill Mattson, has watched the neighborhood grow older as years go by. His pharmacy services mostly older patients or their children who act as their caregivers. During his 31 years as a pharmacist, Dr. Mattson has noticed a greater need for an assistive device like Rex. "As people are living longer, their minds are sharp but their eyes are giving out," said Mattson. "Rex is a neat alternative to having to give up freedom if the patient is not quite ready for that." Mattson also believes that Rex will be a valuable aide for nurses who must tend to multiple patients either living on their own or in assisted living situations. Stone Pharmacy offers a delivery service for senior patients who are unable to visit the pharmacy on their own, or for their busy younger family members who help them administer medications. Rex-The Talking Bottle is valuable for anyone who has difficulty reading or understanding their medication instructions. By simply pushing a button on the side of the bottle, patients can hear what medication is in the bottle, dosage information or any other message that would be helpful to the patient. "Dr. Mattson is clearly dedicated to community service and we are proud to have him join the family of Rex supporters", said Gene Franz, General Manager, Solutions and Channels for MedivoxRx. "We are confident that Rex will add value to the service Dr. Mattson already provides". About Stone Pharmacy: Stone Medical Pharmacy is located at 2800 North Sheridan Road in Chicago.
