About this app

Bluetooth Loudspeaker is an app to transmit your voice from Android phone to bluetooth speaker. That is, your Android device becomes a microphone and the bluetooth speaker becomes a remote loudspeaker. This also indirectly works as volume booster or megaphone for your convenience.

*New to release 6.0+ version: it is now support background mode (Android foreground service) when using microphone with this app. When using this app with microphone and connected to bluetooth speaker, user can exit this app to home screen and continue transmit your voice to remote speaker. To stop, simply go back to this app to click on the same button (blueMic / lineOut).

With new version (5.x) of Bluetooth Loudspeaker, it comes with a build-in mp3 music player and let user sing at the same time, output to the remote speaker.

Bluetooth Loudspeaker can also connect to a bluetooth audio adapter (receiver), which it can line out connect to old Hi-Fi / amplified speaker, your voice is output to the speaker. (P.S. please note that bluetooth audio adapter must connect to a amplifier, not a speaker. Otherwise, the volume would be very low)

To get the best voice output quality (with less background noise and less echo feedback), Bluetooth Loudspeaker supports wired headset as voice input (with both mic and headphone). Thus, user can put Android phone in the pocket and speak through wired headset mic, transmit voice to remote bluetooth speaker. Now, it is both hands free! (require Android 6.x or above)

Please read before you download this app:

2. this app MUST CONNECT TO an external speaker to use. DO NOT use the phone internal speaker as it will produce noisy echo voice. If user still hear echo noise, please try another Android device. Some phone models may come with better noise and echo cancellation.


Remarks:

4. If your Android device supports bluetooth 5.0, or Samsung dual audio (e.g. Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S8+, S9+), it is possible to wireless connect 2 bluetooth speakers at the same time.

Ratings and reviews

I wanted to use the app in a lecture to amplify the voice of the speaker using a bluetooth box and a headset. It was easy to setup, but sadly the amplified sound has a huge delay. It just throws the speaker off, hearing his own delayed voice and makes it very difficult to understand. Might be usable if the speaker is very far away, where the sound doesn't mix. It might be a stretch, to call it "Live", though.

Exactly what I was looking for. Only one issue, it stops after a little while if either the phone is locked, or if the app is running in the background. I have modified the app's battery optimization setting, as well as changed my phone's background process limits. Despite this, the app continually stops broadcasting my microphone after about two minutes of either being locked or being in the background.

This app doesn't function on my phone - "Bluetooth not connected". Was already running Android 13 for a few weeks. All permissions possible have been granted including the 'nearby devices'. Restarted the app, the phone, checked the permission settings each time with no change in status. It's really too bad, because this would have been handy.
