Our audiobook speed calculator is designed to help you understand just how much time you can save by upping the playback speed on an audiobook, podcast, video, or any other type of content that can be impacted by a set playback speed.
Just by entering a few values, you can figure out the most optimized playback speed where you will be able to listen to the video or audiobook and not burn too much time.
Playback speed is the rate at which your media will play at. By default it is set to 1, the normal speed. You can edit it to many different values. Each platform has a different set of values you can choose from to either speed up or slow down the speed.
The way you can edit the playback speed of the audiobook or media you are about to start is by clicking the settings icon, which is commonly a cog or set of three buttons, then navigating to the playback option and altering it there.
There is no single playback speed that is better than another. It depends on your situation and how you prefer to listen to an audiobook or piece of media. Interestingly enough, it appears that according to YouTube, 1.5x playback speed is the most common on their site.
It is always easy and free to choose the playback speed, so whenever you are playing a piece of media alter it until you find the value that you find most enjoyable.
Altering the playback speed of a video will not directly affect its quality, however, it can lead to more buffering if you are not on a fast connection at the time.
Yes, mobile devices have the capability to have faster or slower playback speeds. It will depend on the app or website you are on to choose the playback speed you desire, you cannot set a playback speed in the settings of the mobile device.
