I've had some good experience with https://snips.ai . Works like advertised. easy to implement. Hardest thing was getting the microphone and the pie to get along.
Did you visit the website lately? Doesn't seem to be an option anymore :-/
As an aside, it seems you're interested in speech recognition, or speech to text, not voice recognition. Voice recognition is a different problem, where the particular speaker needs to be recognized from voice.
Don't bother. The cloud based solutions are so vastly superior to the current non-cloud solutions that unless you're something of an expert in ASR you're just going to get frustrated. If you're worried about privacy, Google lets you pay a little extra to immediately delete the audio after you send it to their servers.

Cloud = giving out your data
I think there's a group of highly technical people who feel increasingly left behind by 'convenience tech' because of what they have to give up in order to use it

They only seem to do audio equipment. Did they once do more things more general?

Windows 10 IoT for Raspberry Pi comes with offline speech recognition API.
It was not hard to slap some code together that turns on a light when someone says "banana" at a hackathon.
Sounds like exactly what you need.
>If it helps I'm happy to reduce vocabulary to a dictionary of words
You will do it with an XML grammar file for offline recognition[4].

Loss of internet access is not an excuse for ignoring basic voice commands in my opinion.
Privacy is also an important factor but not the primary driver for us.
