Hi,
It's a cloud service just because there is a lot of computation and also because it is a business model. But today, MCU are so powerful that it is possible to implement embeded voice recognition and voice synthetiser algorithms. May be I am wrong, but I am sure that it is the only way to give a boost to voice control in home automation.
P.S: Zigbee works effectively only thanks to clusters library for example.
