Abstract

An approach is provided that identifies a preferred words-per-minute corresponding to a user listening to an audio. The actual words-per-minute of a selected audio segment is determined and used to calculate a playback speed adjustment value based on the preferred words-per-minute and the actual words-per-minute. A playback speed is adjusted according to the calculated playback speed adjustment value and the audio segment is audibly played at the adjusted first playback speed.
