Here is a quick post about something I am really excited about. It is about speeding up videos, so you spend less time watching those videos while still taking in all the information.
One of the first posts on this blog was about speeding up your audio learning. This is a huge time saver if you listen to a lot of audio books. Now I finally found a tool with which you can speed up the videos online. This tool can cut your learning time in half. With Enounce MySpeed (no affiliate link) you can adjust the tempo of the video without altering the pitch of the audio. The trial version allows you to play videos up to 3 times as fast.
Here are some tips from the article about speeding up your audio learning. These tips also apply here.
How much do you speed it up? First try it at twice the normal speed. If you go back to the original speed it will seem sloooowww. Your mind has adapted to the faster input rate. Try speeding it up a little and if you get used to a certain speed, speed it up a bit more. Of course, if the audio contains real-time listening exercises you can always go back to normal speed.
The sound can be a bit distorted if you speed it up more than a little, so my advice is to use headphones.
It works great with YouTube and online video courses.
Try Enounce MySpeed now and let me know what you think.
