@sethlouey I haven't done any studies (so far) nor am I making any explicit claims. What I can say is that my ability to speed-listen has certainly improved, and so I thought the app would be worth sharing. So far, others have found the "Automatic Speed Ramping" ability really effective as well.

I love listening to audiobooks and podcasts and almost always listen to them at 1.5x-2.5x speed but never more. I find it very difficult to digest the content when it is played at >2.5x speed - have you done anything to make the content more digestible when played at these high speeds?
@jgcatalano Rightspeed comes with an "automatic speed ramping" (ASR) feature, which will slowly increase the playback speed of your audiobook over time. I recommend that you start at a comfortable listening speed and then turn ASR on. You won't even notice that the speed is getting faster, and your brain will get used to the faster speeds. I bet you will surprise yourself!

@jgcatalano my thoughts exactly. fastest I can go is 2.5x and I can't understand a thing. the ASR sounds interesting but can't imagine 10x, that doesn't sound realistic.

Really want to try this but I'm never going to remember to use iTunes to get my stuff on. Any way to integrate with Dropbox? 😄
@_maxdeutsch loving the app. Unfortunately my audiobook I am listening to is broken up my section (each one is 2-7minutes long). I really need a way to automatically play the next chapter and save my speed setting (I started at 2x) so I don't have to take action every 2-5 minutes and actively select the next track. Any fixes for this?
@bharris315 Hey Bryan, thanks for reaching out! I apologize for the inconvenience -- taking action every 5 minutes certainly defeats the purpose of automatic speed ramping.
Right now, there is no fix, but I hope to address a lot of the "Audio In" problems in version 2. Looking to release the next version fairly soon.

Wish I could give it a shot without having to pay $3, since I don't listen to audiobooks and podcasts that much...
@_maxdeutsch@maxdeutsch Yep, read (and recommended) your story, after commenting. The UI looks fantastic though, and you seem to have put in a lot of effort into this, so I might buy it anyway! Good luck in the future, Max ;)
how fast - ridiculously fast? But is quantity better than quality --- and should we just slow down to get more out of the experience. No doubt this is awesome - just a thought.
Rightspeed is a speed-listening app that let's you train your brain to listen to podcasts and audiobooks at up to 10x playback speed.
The brain training is enabled by "Automatic Speed Ramping" (ASR). When ASR is turned on, the playback speed of your audio is seamlessly/automatically incremented over time (at 0.1x per two minutes), pushing the limits of your listening and comprehension abilities.
