![]() It’s also good for watching videos in languages where you aren’t perfectly fluent - you can slow down the rate of speech to hear each individual word more clearly. You can also decrease the playback speed to as slow as 0.3x normal, which can be useful for highly technical information that you wish to digest more slowly. ![]() For a slow speaker, you can still get a comprehensible video at 3x speed. I usually start at 2x and then gradually increase it once I get used to the speaker’s speech patterns. You can increase the playback speed up to 5 times faster, but you’ll probably want to use 1.5x to 2.5x for most videos. So you can watch a 20-minute video in about 10 minutes, or watch two videos in the time it used to take to watch just one. It doesn’t work for all videos, but it works for anything Flash-based like YouTube videos and TED Talks videos. I started using it last week, and now I can watch most online videos in half the time it used to take me. I recently discovered a nifty utility called MySpeed (for Windows and Mac) that lets you speed up the playback of online videos.
