@react-native-voice/voice doesn't detect speech services

Question

I'm trying to use @react-native-voice/voice to implement speech-to-text in my android RN app, I've tried using other variants of the package (like @react-native-community/voice and the deprecated @react-native-voice) but got the same results for all of them. I can't use the package because my Voice.getSpeechRecognitionServices() is always empty, this results in any usage of the package not doing anything. I tried checking the assistive app and it's Google, I tried switching it to Bixby, and then received Error: Not allowed to bind to service Intent I also added the RECORD_AUDIO permission so I don't think that this is the issue.

Any help would be highly appreciated, thanks!
