Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When my children uses tablets and headphones it's impossible to get their attention.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I want to use my WearOS watch to quickly listen to my voice/read my text and send that so that it's played on the tablet. The idea is to use a complication to start a service that takes voice/text as input and sends that directly to the media player (in this case a tablet). This would also be brilliant to quickly send messages to different places in the home,
**Describe alternatives you've considered, if any**
On phone it's possible to open the HA app and use a service that takes text as input. Then it is possible to use the keyboard's mic function to speak something and hit send. But this approach is very cumbersome. It's perhaps also possible to use Assist, but even if it worked one would have to speak something like "send message to Child's tablet - it's dinnertime" instead of ideally just saying "it's dinnertime" after you've hit the button on watchface that chooses the child's tablet. It would be much more reliable because it would definitly send to the right place.
**Additional context**
In addition to speaking the text to send it should also be possible to type it using the keyboard on the watch.
