it will be great to have option to search by voice and not only keyboard, great remote! thank you!

Home Assistant supports text to speech with easy to use service calls, but does not have an equivalent for speech to text. The closest thing it has is the assist action, which allows you to convert speech to Home Assistant commands through a dialogue. This action is currently supported.

custom_actions:
  assist:
    icon: mdi:assistant
    tap_action:
      action: assist

As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to send speech to Home Assistant and get text back to use without using it as a command outside of the assist dialogue. If anyone else knows how to we can work on implementing this as a new text input method.
