Scribe is MTP and technically MTP is not do if the device is Android. It's a protocol MS developed for the Zune (from 2006 and Windows CE 6 embedded). I think up to Android 3 Google used Mass Storage and it's from 4.0 in 2011 that Android switched to MTP.
Perhaps Kovid meant MTP just like an Android device?
Quote:
In 2011, it became the standard method to transfer files to and from Android.
MTP is part of the "Windows Media" framework and thus closely related to Windows Media Player. Versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows XP SP2 support MTP. Windows XP requires Windows Media Player 10 or higher;[3] later Windows versions have built-in support. Microsoft has made an MTP Porting Kit available for older versions of Windows, back to Windows 98.
