That's kinda the problem: there are no non-profit, voice recognition DA's out there (presumably because voice recognition requires a lot of research and a ton of audio samples - I think, Mozilla tried to get into this?).

We got Google Now, Alexa, Siri and Cortana. Google Now and Alexa are obviously tied into an eco system that has one goal: engaging the user till he buys something. With Siri and Cortana its more like the old "lock the customer in (so he eventually buys more of our stuff)" thing.
