Stop dictate from turning off in Word 365

Is there any way that we can prevent dictate to turn off (or at least extend the time that it stays on) in Word 365? I'd really like for it not to stop listening while I'm thinking about what to say.

Thanks!

    Hi Charles,

    Dictate Feature will stop after few seconds if you didn’t speak or you don’t have any reaction. It’s not an issue, this is how it designed.

    We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by this, you can kindly submit feedback in Office application. It’s the direct way to report this advice to related team.  For your reference: How do I give feedback on Microsoft Office?

    Thanks for your cooperation.

    Regards,

    Ivy

    The issue I’m having from this and I think its the same with the other comments here is that it isnt shutting off after a few minutes its shutting off after a couple seconds or for me its often shutting off mid sentence with no delay at all
