start a new message via hangout?

Hello,

Is it possible to start a message via hangouts rather than sms?

I'd like to know this as well. I'm thinking the answer is you can't at this point. VERY disappointing.

Hoping Google and it soon such an obvious thing to miss

You got it. You can start a new SMS with the "send text to..." voice command. However, for a Hangout you can only reply via voice once you have already received the Hangout notification.

i was thinking about this over the weekend. is there a way on the phone to start a hangout via google now? i'm thinking maybe this isnt a limitation of android wear as much as it is a limitation of google now...
