The Zork game, written in WebAssembly, using serverless (offline) speech recognition by using the Kaldi Speech Recognition Toolkit. Kaldi is written in C++ which then (i guess) is compiled into WebAssembly via Emscripten.
Additional comment: When I saw the Amazon Alexa API (i was at a small meeting which included defining your own "utterances", i was dissapointed that the Alexa required internet connection to perform the speech recognition, even moreso when the interaction with it was not so sophisticated (after all, it is geared to understanding predefined commands).
Alexa's recognition is made more difficult by the fact that you talk to it from a distance. Still, though, you're right that only handling predefined commands should make it much easier.

It seems to be a heavily compressed version of the ASpIRE challenge example model (https://github.com/kaldi-asr/kaldi/tree/master/egs/aspire/).
