NEW My Board Buddy – a digital smart board magnifier for the classroom or office!

My Board Buddy allows a student or professional to view a smartboard or presentation on a tablet or monitor at their desk. The content from the smartboard/presentation is duplicated on their individual screen so they can adjust magnification, color contrast and brightness independently without affecting the image on the smartboard. My Board Buddy will display text, photos, videos, live notes and more – all in real time with minimal delay so everyone has access to the same information at the same time. Better yet, the device is wireless so low vision users can sit anywhere in the room!

  • Get a high-quality digital image – zoom in without sacrificing image quality
  • View in real-time with minimal delay 
  • Sit anywhere in the room – wireless connection
  • Displays full screen content – text, photos, videos, live writing and more!
  • Works with devices you already own – minimal installation necessary
  • Expandable system – one system works with multiple users in the same room
  • 2 options available:

    • Use a tablet w/free app AND a stand-alone monitor system (AIR version)

Make your smart board or presentation accessible with my Board Buddy!

100% digital access in real-time

My Board Buddy gives fast, real-time access to the live content on the smart board, whether that is text, photos, videos or handwriting, so all users can have access to the same information at the same time. Because the information is digital, the my Board Buddy can maintain a high image quality at all magnifications levels!

How it works:

My Board Buddy connects to the smart board, computer or other HDMI device. It then transmits the information to a separate tablet or monitor at a desk where students or professionals can manipulate the images without impacting what others see.

Wireless design

This wireless design means that students with low vision can sit anywhere in the room, not look any different from other students yet, still have a perfect view of the presentation.

One device for all students

Install one my Board Buddy device in your classroom or office and all the students or staff can use it simultaneously. This simple solution creates full access to the smart-board for every visually impaired person in the room! And the best part – it works with current tablets and monitors so you can use equipment you already own. A very budget friendly solution!

Multiple versions

My Board Buddy comes in 2 different versions – my Board Buddy GO and my Board Buddy AIR.

My Board Buddy GO is a portable solution where the user connects to a tablet using a free app and uses the touchscreen icons to navigate. This is great for users who frequently change locations. Install the transmitter in each classroom and students can move from room to room with only a tablet.

My Board Buddy AIR  combines the features of the GO but also adds the option to connect it to a stand-alone monitor. This option is great for fixed environments where you can always leave the monitor setup but also gives you the flexibility to use the tablet solution for additional users. It’s also great for younger students who are less familiar with a computer and prefer to use the intuitive remote control.

Inclusive Environment

My Board Buddy is easy-to use, works with equipment you already own and provides unlimited access to smartboards for every single person in the room. It creates a more inclusive and engaging environment and it’s a great way to accommodate multiple vision conditions and learning difficulties in one affordable solution!
