Can it read handwritten prescriptions?

Yes. The AI is trained on both printed and handwritten veterinary prescriptions. The clearer the photo, the more accurate the extraction. If your vet's handwriting is particularly hard to read, we recommend confirming with the clinic.

Is this a substitute for asking my vet?

No. The reader is meant to help you understand what was prescribed when you forget what the vet said. Always follow the exact instructions provided by your veterinarian and never adjust dosing without asking.

Does it warn me about drug interactions?

The tool flags common warnings printed on the prescription (e.g. 'do not give with NSAIDs', 'avoid in pregnancy'). For full interaction checking with other medications, talk to your vet or pharmacist.

Will it work with prescriptions in other languages?

Yes — the AI understands prescriptions in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and several other languages. Output is provided in English by default.

Is my prescription image stored?

We process the image and discard it. Nothing identifying you, your pet, or your vet is shared or sold.

Why Use the Prescription Reader?

Veterinary handwriting can be hard to read, and dosing mistakes are one of the most common causes of pet medication errors at home. Our AI extracts the medication name, dose, frequency, duration and any special instructions — presented in a format any owner can follow.

The tool also flags common safety warnings (e.g. give-with-food, do-not-mix, storage requirements) so you have everything in one place before the first dose.

Upload to the reader

Drag the image in or click to browse. JPG and PNG up to 5 MB work best.

Get a structured medication card

Within seconds you receive a clear breakdown of medication name, dose, frequency, duration, special instructions, and safety warnings.
