I listen at 1.25 which seems about right. 1 seems too slow!

Wolfff · 11/02/2020 19:08

Personally, I just listen at normal speed.

Speed? I didn't know you could change it Blush

1.15 or 1.25 depending on whether it's fiction or not! If it's nonfiction it's likely to be something sciencey so I need it slower to take it in haha!

Usually 1.5 or 1.25. Kevin Hart at 1.0 & the Neapolitan series at 2 maybe

I need to start at 1.0 so I'm paying attention & then speed up. Depends what you're reading. What are you reading & have you any recs?!

1.3 for me

Currently listening to Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix with the kids, 27 hours taking forever trying to fit it in so might speed it up to 1.4

I just listen to it at normal speed. I don't mess with the speed.

TheDrsDocMartens · 11/02/2020 19:34

I had no idea you could speed up. You’ve revolutionised it for me!

I'm listening to the Harry Potter books in Spanish, so am listening at 75% speed!
