I don't see why any such declaration is necessary.  From the perspective of the application author or of the application user, it matters very little where the speech-to-text operation occurs so long as the result is delivered promptly.  There is no reason that local, network-based, or hybrid solutions would be unable to provide adequate performance.  I believe the current language in the proposal is appropriate.
