Bluetooth QR & Barcode to PC

About this app

With this app you can turn your phone into a mobile QR/Barcode scanner and send the value of any code as text input to the connected Bluetooth device.

Features:

- Wide variety of QR/Barcode types supported
- No special software on the receiving side required
- Works completely offline
- No Ads/In-App-Purchases
- Different keyboard layouts to choose
- Highly customizable for many use-cases

The app works by utilizing the Bluetooth HID feature accessible on devices running Android 9 or later. Using this feature allows the Android device to act like a normal wireless keyboard connected via Bluetooth.
That means it should work with every device that supports connecting a Bluetooth keyboard like a PC, Laptop or Phone.

Ratings and reviews

The app is working well for QR code scanning to PC, smooth integration into my workflow. Bluetooth transfer is a bit delay, character-by-character transmission is spot-on. That kind of lag can definitely slow things down, especially for longer strings or frequent scans. Please make a tweak on the optimization bluetooth transfer, speed and reliability matter, even small tweaks like this can make a big difference. Great App indeed!

I Love it but you need to add an option after sending the data must be clear in scanning section like if we want manually can send the data through send button if we select auto send option the QR code data must be clear in QR section

Really great app. Had to change some settings on the pc but after that, the app worked without any problem. Currently, I have been using it for like 3 months. Tried some other apps but I couldn't get them to work even after changing lots of settings on both devices. The only thing I didn't like was that the scan history got deleted every time I relaunched it. It would be cool if this app had a way to store scanned barcodes and send them to pc without having to scan them every time.
