![]() ![]() For most others, I'm very skeptical that 2x speed is impossible to extract meaning. Can it really be impossible to understand the meaning as the authors assert?!? For listeners whose native language is not English, perhaps they require the slower 1x playback speed. In any case, HN readers can try it themselves on a bunch of youtube videos.Ĭhange the playback option to 2x on those videos. Why is wpm not data? The average reading speed of adults is also well-documented. Why not? If an audiofile has speech content, one can count the total words, divide by total minutes, and hence, calculate a words-per-minute. (It's also possible they published primary research in an academic journal that google doesn't index.) It looks like their comment about speech acceleration is anecdotal instead of being based on rigorous research. As for reading text, it looks like RT's commentary on speedreading is based on meta-research and not primary lab research. That's true we don't know what they considered but a cursory search doesn't find any primary research on 2x audio acceleration performed by either Rebecca Treiman or Jeffrey Zacks.

They would have been surprised to learn that people can follow the meaning of the words at 200wpm very easily. I think the authors should have surveyed a hundred youtube users that always take advantage of the 2x speed option. Spoken recordings at 100wpm is mind-numbingly slow and it would just make my mind wander. Most humans can't move their mouths fast enough to talk at 300wpm - but with digital technology - they don't have to. Since that's the same as our subvocalization wpm, the meaning is not impossible to follow. For many of us, accelerating speech from 1x to 3x is simply making the speaker sound out the words at 300wpm. However, many people speak out loud at only ~100wpm. This subvocalization is therefore "sounding out" the words at ~300wpm in our head.

I don't have research about 2x audio to cite but I think there are datapoints that the authors didn't consider when they wrote "Doubling the speed makes it just about impossible to follow the meaning."Ĭonsider that most of us can read text at a normal unhurried speed of 200wpm to 300wpm. ![]()
