Twilio Speech Recognization: Increase speech pause time when speechTimeout='auto'

Question

I have set speechTimeout to 'auto', which means Twilio will stop speech recognition when there is a pause in speech. But the pause time is very less and speech recognition stops even if there is a small gap in the speech. Is there any attribute to increase the pause/break time we can set?

twiml_response.gather(input='speech', hints='', speechTimeout='auto', action='/test')

There is currently no way to affect how long the speechTimeout='auto' will wait for gaps in speech.
