Speech Recognition Skill/Control

Is there any way I can convert speech to text using an off-line skill and get the detected phrase? The standard off-line Speech Recognition skill translates what I say to text, but I can only retrieve the phrase if it matches a defined list.  I have to use the on-line Bing Speech Recognition skill to retrieve an undefined phrase.
