Meshtastic Plugin
Offical Meshtastic ATAK Plugin for sending CoT to IMeshService in the Meshtastic Android app.
Meshtastic Plugin Tool menu
There is now a Meshtastic Tool menu, it currently is only used for recording Voice Memos. Voice memos will record your speech to text then send a Meshtastic text message. If users enable "Text to Speech" in preferecnes the message will be read outloud. Only English is supported currently. The Speech to Text is performed with the Vosk library.
