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 that this is an ad-free, free app but let me know some two of its shortcomings that affect me: it really struggles with barcodes, especially small ones. QRs work smoothly but barcodes don't. The other thing is, if you have another keyboard layout (like Hungarian in my case) it forwards the text/numbers incorrectly.

🌟 Great App, Waiting for Arabic Support! 🌟 This app is great and full of amazing features—especially the many helpful tweets it offers. I really enjoy using it, but I’ve been waiting for Arabic language support for a while. I hope it will be added soon, as it would make the app even more useful for Arabic-speaking users like me. Keep up the good work! 💪👏
