Weird issue with swype

So I tried using the voice option on the swype keyboard to text, and for some reason it requires me to be connected to the internet.  I am not sure why and I can't seem to find much information on why it does, has anyone else came across this issue?

This shouldn't really have anything to do with swype, but the voice recognition is all done "on the cloud" rather than on the device, so this is "as designed" behavior.

A soft reset may resolve your voice option concerns. Please remove the battery with phone ON, then re-insert battery after 10 seconds and power phone ON. Allow phone to register applications before you attempt to use voice option.
