Adjusting Alan's listening phase

[ljudbane]

Is it possible to increase the time that Alan listens for a longer input?

For example, we have an intent to capture a larger chunk of free text. The intent is defined like this:

intent(vSupportScreen, 'My message is $(TICKET* (.+))', async p => {
    p.play(`You've said: ${p.TICKET.value}`);
    ...
}

During testing we have observed that a lot of the time user will make a little pause in their talking, such as when ending one sentence and starting another. And in that pause Alan will stop listening and start processing the input. So we were wondering if it possible to increase the amount of time Alan listens, before it determines the end of input and starts processing.

This is a common request and we are working on it for the next release.
For situations with a regular expression that takes as much input as possible and user input matches this pattern, timeout will be increased automatically.
