Interesting idea. I used to watch Berkeley webcast videos at 1.5x to shave off ~30 minutes from a 90 minute lecture. Any faster wouldn't be intelligible.

- dnautics 10y agoIt is the case that you can teach yourself to understand faster and faster speech. The blind often have human interface devices which speak at absurdly high vocal acceleration.
- JoshTriplett 10y agoThis also depends heavily on information density. I can listen to some types of content at 2x without issue; other content I can't accelerate more than 10-20%.
- MaulingMonkey 10y agoSome content I have to scrub and rewatch even at 1x speed. Some content I can watch at 4x.
- dnautics 10y agoBlind people regularly teach themselves to listen at 4-5x speed.

- azaydak 10y agoI do the same. I usually watch all lecture videos at 1.5x or 2x speed. Saves me tons of time which is good because usually to videos are of random interesting topics that are distracting me from work.
