Thanks a lot! I expected the samples to be hard to understand, but this is absolutely mind blowing.

Any sighted around here who managed to improve their ability to understand fast speech?

I routinely listen to podcasts at 2x while doing other things, and can go up to 3x if it's quiet enough (or a slow enough task) to focus. I'm willing to bet I could do it faster if I was doing nothing else.

Thanks, very interesting. Those samples sound like total gibberish to me. I'm a native english speaker, and if I really concentrate, I can sometimes pick out a word or two, maybe a phrase with the written text right there too. Maybe I could get to understanding speech that fast if I worked my way up to it.

Thank you good man!

It’s like when I’m speed running a podcast or YT video.
