This is the Play Store version, though I'll be switching to F-Droid's eventually.

Can you share a screenshot of the settings screen? I'm not seeing a separate voice input option here, although Assist isn't available as a voice input service so I wouldn't expect it and am not sure what issue you're trying to describe.

Assist functionality is the same for both flavors

If it's not available as a voice-input service then that would explain it...but it also leaves me baffled as to how to use it on Android then, voice-wise (edit: TTS, "Ok, Assistant, add bread to my shopping list" without manually opening the software). As for F-Droid vs Google-Play, I don't want anything cloud/Google and the push-notifications would never work anyway, so there's no point in my supporting Play Store by using it (metrics, etc).

Wake word is another open request, and not easily supported by non-system apps like HA.

The digital assistant role can be set so you can access Assist anywhere using the button/gesture to open the assistant app, that's all. For more information see Assist. A general purpose voice input service is out of scope (and also not what most other assistant apps offer).

Going to close this as there is no issue here :)

I found it easy to support when tinkering around with Android Studio.

It's not about general purpose, it's about using HA to provide voice interaction, text-to-speech, things it already does. I'm confused about what HA is supposed to be for if not "our" own way of handling data/info/integrating with our own software/devices/networks. :/

I wonder if the decision to call it out-of-scope is related to the upselling. Edit: I get that VIS is limited for the garbage Wear OS but for regular Android it wasn't when I was tinkering in Android Studio.
