Pause listening vosk or microphone

hello I wanted some advice on how to solve a problem, everything works fine, vosk recognizes what I say and then a voice based on what I said, leaves to answer, if I wanted to disable the microphone or otherwise mute so that vosk does it pause while audio comes out of the speakers, and then resumes listening by vosk when the audio from the speakers is finished? All this on Raspberry with python, thank you very much :)
