Description
Version used: Android 13, WearOS 4.0, Jetpack Compose BOM "2024.02.01"
Devices/Android versions reproduced on: Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
I am trying to use the speech recognizer on a Samsung Watch, but I always get false from `SpeechRecognizer.isRecognitionAvailable(context)`
I tried installing GBoard or other tricks to make sure the watch would indeed have a SpeechRecognizer, but nothing I did made it work.
I did add the queries in the manifest:
```
<queries>
<intent>
<action android:name="android.speech.RecognitionService" />
</intent>
</queries>
```
to no avail.
I have seen other people online mention issues with Android 13 and the Speech recognition.
There is an unclear almost throw away line here:
What does this mean concretely?
Why can't we access the Speech recognizer on a Samsung watch?
If it is missing a default voice input, how do we install one?
Is there a way at all on Android 13 to use `SpeechRecognizer`?
