Android voice recognition API offline

Question

Can someone please help me?

I am developing an application with voice recognition via RecognizerIntent.

1. Which Android version brought in officially the offline recognition available to apps by API? Is there any statement about it?
2. By what I read until know it is not a choice of the developer if the voice recognition will be done via online service or the offline dictionaries. Am I right? Or are there any documented API to set offline?

Thanks
