Bluetooth Remote vs Otic
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Bluetooth Remote
Remote turns any Android device into a Bluetooth (Classic) HID keyboard, mouse, and trackpad for all platforms that accept generic Bluetooth input. The following platforms are supported: - Android 4 and later - Android TV, Google TV, and Fire OS - ChromeOS - iOS 13 (iPadOS 13) and later - iOS 4 and later (keyboard only) - tvOS 9.2 and later - Mac OS X 10.3 and later - Linux kernel 2.6 and later - SteamOS - Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later
Otic
Otic lets you stream your Android device's microphone input to the local network using `ServerSocket` and Foreground Service. Otic isn't a receiver, so you must have a custom receiver to receive the audio from the Otic client. Check the README (https://github.com/sakethpathike/Otic/blob/master/README.md) for more details.
