Connecting to iOS or Android devices
MB Tutor is equipped with Bluetooth to connect to smartphones and tablets that work with
mobile operating systems: iOS or Android. In Apple AppStore and Google Play Store, a
free app is available: MBMimic. The MBMimic is a communication app that supports the
production of hard copy braille output and interaction with a braille user. The app can be
operated by the sighted and the blind. It is fully accessible when VoiceOver is running on
your iOS device.
With the MBMimic, you can:
1.
Create a list of users (e.g., students)
2.
Assign folders with specific content to each student
3.
Transfer files among your students
4.
Transfer files from apps like documents to MBMimic
5.

11.
Help your students learn to spell words using the Whiteboard application
12.
Check if your student can read contracted or uncontracted braille
MBMimic comprises three tabs: Active Users, Archived Users, and Mountbatten. The
Active Users tab is meant for lists of users, e.g., students, who actively use the
Mountbatten.
The Archived Users tab was created to let the teachers keep information from previous
years to not interfere with current users.
The Mountbatten tab is used to establish a connection with the Mountbatten, interact using
the Chat or Whiteboard applications, check the Mountbatten’s memory, or find out the
firmware version of the Mountbatten unit.
To run the app, locate it on your iOS device, tap, and wait for the app to open. Tap one of
the three tabs you want to work with at the bottom of the screen.
Active Users
When you tap the Active Users tab, you will see a long button Add user... . Tap this button
to open the Edit user box where you are asked to enter the full name of the user as well as
the display name. Once you have completed the information, tap Done, and your first
active user will be added to the list.
NOTE: It is recommended but not necessary to complete all the fields in the Edit user box.
