Short answer: no. Long anwer: You can cobble something together, using either https://wit.ai (sending your voice to the cloud) or CMU Sphinx a.k.a. PocketSphinx (https://wolfpaulus.com/journal/embedded/raspberrypi2-sr/) (keeping it all in-house)

I built something like this at home. CMU Sphinx is a popular open source speech recognition toolkit that you can run locally. But it was kind of clumsy to setup and train. Also, I couldn't get high accuracy.

Other cloud options include Google Voice and wit.ai. Google Voice AFAIK doesn't allow you to train it with custom models. I finally went with wit.ai which turned out to be pretty good.

That post reminds me very much of the story "The Twonky" by Lewis Padgett.
