From what I understand from talking to Mayday, if WiFi is not on, it will still record in English but will take time to learn my speech.

Wow, this feature alone is worth the price of the entire HDX !!
Most android devices have this option by default. Amazon is behind when it comes to it. I use this on my phone all the time.
