I like how this is different from many other tools, as it can also leave the pauses untouched while speeding up the speaking. For me, listening at something above >2x is often hard, as it gets all mashed together. Most tools that speed up "dynamically", does so by removing the silent parts. But I need those, those are the ones telling me when one word ends and the other one begins. So I'd like more tools to do the opposite: increase the speed of the words, but keep the pauses between words so my brain registers the start/end.
