@sethlouey I haven't done any studies (so far) nor am I making any explicit claims. What I can say is that my ability to speed-listen has certainly improved, and so I thought the app would be worth sharing. So far, others have found the "Automatic Speed Ramping" ability really effective as well.
Rightspeed is a speed-listening app that let's you train your brain to listen to podcasts and audiobooks at up to 10x playback speed.
The brain training is enabled by "Automatic Speed Ramping" (ASR). When ASR is turned on, the playback speed of your audio is seamlessly/automatically incremented over time (at 0.1x per two minutes), pushing the limits of your listening and comprehension abilities.
Let me know if you have any questions! You can read the full story about the app here: https://medium.com/@maxdeutsch/i...

Wish I could give it a shot without having to pay $3, since I don't listen to audiobooks and podcasts that much...
@_maxdeutsch@maxdeutsch Yep, read (and recommended) your story, after commenting. The UI looks fantastic though, and you seem to have put in a lot of effort into this, so I might buy it anyway! Good luck in the future, Max ;)
@sahilc0 thanks for the love, Sahil! Once I get the iPhone version to a more stable place, adding android support will make more sense. You can follow me on Medium for updates: https://medium.com/@maxdeutsch

With the growing popularity of audiobooks, this seems like a timely app. Was featured on TechCrunch last night. http://techcrunch.com/2016/04/26...

I love listening to audiobooks and podcasts and almost always listen to them at 1.5x-2.5x speed but never more. I find it very difficult to digest the content when it is played at >2.5x speed - have you done anything to make the content more digestible when played at these high speeds?
@jgcatalano Rightspeed comes with an "automatic speed ramping" (ASR) feature, which will slowly increase the playback speed of your audiobook over time. I recommend that you start at a comfortable listening speed and then turn ASR on. You won't even notice that the speed is getting faster, and your brain will get used to the faster speeds. I bet you will surprise yourself!

@jgcatalano my thoughts exactly. fastest I can go is 2.5x and I can't understand a thing. the ASR sounds interesting but can't imagine 10x, that doesn't sound realistic.
