use button for dictation

Question

Hello @RoyLiWicresoftNorthAmericaLtd-0833  I am using continues dictation in my app, but I have a problem, even though I put the silence time out to 1 day, it will still timeout after a while.  

What I am trying to do, is that the user press the button and I start speaking, and If I hit the button again it will stop listening. For some reason. I also want the app to type, while I am speaking

Hello,
For your requirement, you could refer SpeechRecognitionAndSynthesis official code sample, and Scenario_ContinuousDictation could meet your need.
