Android: Speech Recognition Append Dictionary?

Question

I'm using the Speech Recognizer Intent in Android. Is there a way to add your own customized words or phrases to Android's Speech recognition 'dictionary'

See http://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/RecognizerIntent.html and LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM or LANGUAGE_MODEL_WEB_SEARCH.
