I have heard a few people on here talk about how they can watch a downloaded lecture on their computer at double-speed or 2x. I was wondering what program it was that allows you to do this.

Thanks

Enounce. I don't remeber the website, but I found it off of Google. You even get a free 7-day trial.
 
I listen to lectures at 1X, 1.4X, or 2X (depending on the lecturer's pace) using Windows Media Player. Its free and has worked fine for me.
 
ok, thanks. i will try both ways.

this might sound silly, but how do you listen to them at a higher speed and still hear the lecturer? We have streaming lectures and when i try to play them at a higher speed, the sound doesn't work.....

i read (i think in the windows media help file) that it might not work for streaming videos. i think you might actually have to save the file to your computer, then it will work. this is just a guess though, i havent tried it out with streaming videos yet...
 
be careful -- lots of schools don't want you downloading and saving their lectures, so while there are programs that allow you to do this, it's probably safest to keep it sort of hush-hush

you do have to download the file to your computer to use speed controls
 
Anyone know of a way to download straming content to the computer? If I try to save the link it just saves the page where the link is located.

Really? Ours is kind of flagrantly "save-and-listen-later."

Btw, some people I know do nothing but listen to audios at 5x speed. I wonder how in the world they retain anything and really wish I had that kind of superpower.
