Android Question Speech to text recognizer intent

[Rusty]

I need to extend the "listening" time of the speech to text recognizer and am unclear on how to issue the proper intent to do so.
I believe it is
EXTRA_SPEECH_INPUT_COMPLETE_SILENCE_LENGTH_MILLIS

I need the listener to listen for 5000 ms before terminating the listen.
I've tried:

Dim i As Intent
        i.Initialize("RecognizerIntent.ACTION.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH", "")
        Dim Millis As Long = 5000
        i.putExtra("RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_SPEECH_INPUT_MINIMUM_LENGTH_MILLIS", Millis)

but this doesn't seem to work.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rusty

Thanks Erel,
I have been recording and trying to delay the end of speech using the above intent, to no avail.
However, I note that when I speak, then pause (end of speech fires), then I re-issue a start listening, the next piece of speech I record the volume of the audio is extremely low as to be almost inaudible.
This is not consistent in that if I repeat the above, the next audio segment may be a normal volume.
any ideas on why the audio volume would diminish and is there a way to control microphone volume?
Thanks,
Rusty

I don't think that there is any way to affect the recoding volume.

Thanks Erel...big oversight from the Google boys, eh?
I looked at your VR example noted two posts ago.
Is there a way to capture the onBufferReceived event for the VoiceRecognition function?
I've been using Steve Harris' library and also I have Tomas' library, both of which allow the event to fire, thus allowing me to stream the output to a file.
Thanks,
Rusty

The VoiceRecognition object from Phone library is based on the "intent" solution. All it does is to prepare an intent and send it to the OS. There aren't any events other than the result event.
