Great app Pairing a keyboard scanner to an old application made really easy.
★☆☆☆☆ John The Boss Engel · Dec 14, 2020
Wanted to connect a wireless scanner to my Chromebook. The app requires a Bluetooth Address, and then tells you where to find that. That information is outdated as I can't find the Bluetooth Address anywhere on the Chromebook, which renders the app useless.
★☆☆☆☆ Adam Ruffolo · Jun 30, 2026
Keyboard does not auto resize on Android S9 tablets. Bottom line of the keys are behind the OS navigation buttons. Multiple emails to the developer go unanswered.

Description by Zebra Technologies Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
The Scan-To-Connect (STC) Utility enables a Zebra Bluetooth scanner to pair to a phone or tablet in one simple step, without having to modify your app.

Unlike standard HID keyboard, the STC Utility supports enhanced HID keyboard, which assures your data is received by your phone or tablet. If corrupted, it will be retransmitted. If lost, you get an error beep to rescan item.

The STC Utility also has a virtual keyboard to manually enter data for items that are not bar coded, or if the bar code is unreadable (ie. Damaged).

Additional functionality includes:
1. View the host’s Bluetooth MAC address
2. Print a pairing barcode
3. Launch an application after completing the pairing process
4. Hide “Settings” button when deploying to production environments

For more information go to www.Zebra.com/scantoconnect

For Windows, Android and iOS app developers, the source code for the pairing functionality of Scan-To-Connect is available for integration into your application at www.Zebra.com/scannersdk.

Recent changes:
- Removed the need to switch to the Zebra keyboard while operating under HID protocol.
- Bug fix – Fixed the issue of the Zebra keyboard overlapping with navigation buttons on some Android devices.
