Cant use voice search on Kindle Fire

Hello! I am trying to upload my app on Amazon but it just passed the non-amazon android and fire phone test. Seems like there is no voice search option for the kindle fire tablets? Normally I use the "google voice search" app, if its not available on the phone I ask the user to download it from the google play market. The problem is there is no "google voice search" on the amazon market, is there a workaround that you might suggest? Thank you! Amazon app link: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00NR9PPN8

This is the answer I got from Amazon: [i]Hi Mandelbrot Solutions, Thanks for writing in. Voice recognition on Android devices is part of the Google Mobile Services (GMS) suite. Fire devices are based on Android AOSP builds and do not have GMS, thus they will not be able to run your app. We do not really have an alternative for you at this time I'm afraid.[/i]
