Handcryption Status Update 0.0.3.2 (Big News)

What Happened?

So, I was able to add in a UI that includes settings, contacts, message history, as well as battery status. In the settings, the user can change the volume of the piezo, as well as clear the files on their device (Contacts, Known IPs, and Message History. When hovering over a choice, the icon (the volume icon, for example) repeatedly switches from inverted to normal.

However, while I was debugging, I found a MAJOR problem. My measly ESP32 microcontroller doesn’t have enough CPU and RAM to run the speech-to-text model. However, I can pivot from this by using the VOSK model paired with my Raspberry Pi 4 that I have on hand as a server to run the model for the microcontroller. This opens up a whole new possibility. We can now have a main hub that monitors the devices, serves the speech-to-text requests, and sends the text back.

What’s Next?

 - Speech-to-text code for the Raspberry Pi
 - Communication Protocol between the device and Pi
