In which browser doesn't it involve a cloud service?

  Use Firefox. Google Chrome does use a cloud service. Edit: Firefox does not support the Web Speech API at this time. There are not currently any offline versions of this API as far as I can tell.

    According to MDN, Firefox doesn't support it? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API#Browser_compatibility https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_... EDIT: According to other documentation, it is behind a config flag. If you enable it, it will send the data to Google's API through a Mozilla-operated proxy: https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Web_Speech_API_-_Speech_Recognition&oldid=1220468#Where_does_the_audio_go.3F https://wiki.mozilla.org/index.php?title=Web_Speech_API_-_Sp...
