Bluetooth Page Turning

[hismaimai8888]

Hi, I am looking at storing sheet music in calibre in PDF format for cataloging and to attach the correct metadata. There is a product out called Airturn BT-105 (wireless pedal controller) that I would like to purchase and use to turn pages with my foot while I am playing the music on the computer. Does anyone know if there is a plugin required or if there is support for this device? Thanks.

You'd need to ask the authors of whichever piece of software you're thinking about using whether or not they support that particular device.

It should work without any plugin. Most will allow you to configure to whatever keystrokes map to page turns (cursor keys etc.). I have a PageFlip pedal and it works with Adobe Reader, for example. They’ll also work with tablets, provided that the app supports basic keyboard navigation (reading apps, e.g. Kindle, do not always do this on iOS; Android apps generally do support keyboard navigation).

If you find the product on Amazon, you can ask any questions you have and the seller or people who actually have the product can answer more specific questions.
