FAQ
Will audio quality change?
Most players keep audio clear when you change speed. At very fast speeds speech can be harder to follow. Try different speeds to find what works for you.
Does faster speed reduce learning?
It depends on the content and your focus. Use faster speed for review and slower speed for new ideas. Adjust until you keep both speed and understanding.
