Can I stop the Google keyboard voice to text from turning off?

[AC Question]

Can I stop the Google keyboard voice to text from turning off? Everytime I'm speaking and I pause, it stops and I have to tap it again. I'd like to be able to use it continuously without touching the screen. Is there a setting to stop it from turning off every few seconds?
