[Feature request] Do not stop listening automatically

[jixbo]

I would like to be able to talk for a few minutes, without worrying that it stopped listening, even if I pause. Maybe a switch with "automatically stop listening"?

For the moment I can record somewhere else and then import the file, but would not work for all users.

Did you try to set "Listening mode" to "Always on"? This may be what you are looking for.

I was expecting "Always on" to perform similar to what @jixbo wants, but even with Always on selected it will stop listening once I pause in my speech. Possible bug or I'm misunderstanding the purpose of Listening mode.

@curreta Are you sure listening is turning off? The indicator for the listening can be a bit misleading because when "Always On" is enabled, it is only "active" when speech is detected, while it is grayed out when there is silence.

There may also be a bug.

I click on "Listen", talk for a few seconds, then pause. The STT is successful but the Listen button becomes clickable again, and no future voice is auto-detected.
