Mountbatten Brailler Learning System

What is the Mountbatten Brailler?
The Mountbatten
Brailler (MB) is the
complete Braille learning center for children and their teachers.
Extensive research and development has resulted in a design suitable for
the very first stages of Braille instruction through to high school and
even beyond. A professional resource, the Mountbatten Brailler offers
exceptional connectivity and software to support flexible teaching and
educational needs.
·
As a simple tool it can be used to
develop awareness of Braille symbols and characters.
·
An easy correct and erase function
means children are more willing to write their ideas.
·
Audio response reinforces learning
and tells you what commands are being entered.
·
With the addition of a MIMic,
teacher supervision becomes easy and continuous.
·
Connect a PC keyboard to enable
sighted teachers, peers and even family to write in Braille.
·
Braille-to-print as well as
print-to-Braille translation available.
·
It can be used as a graphics
embosser encouraging the development of tactual skills.
·
In the MB
Learning System a voice synthesizers
enables file management and text editing.
·
Connect the Mountbatten to a PC and
send files back and forward.
The Mountbatten is available in two models.
Mountbatten Writer
This standard model is ideally suited in the classroom for early
Braille learners or for older students and adults who desire a simple Braille
writer and embosser. Equipped with digitized speech, the Mountbatten Writer
provides auditory reinforcement for keystrokes as well as commands.
Mountbatten Learning System
The Mountbatten LS adds synthetic speech to all of the features of the
Mountbatten Writer. Early computer skills are learned with the introduction of
editing files in memory and electronic note taking. The Mountbatten
LS’s
synthesized speech assists the student to create an assignment, edit, modify,
delete or block text, producing the final copy in print or Braille, or both.
Page formatting concepts are learned with the Mountbatten LS’s settings for
tabs, automatic margins, erase and correct, and an array of other features that
make Braille writing an enjoyable and successful experience.
