Today, 07/04/08 is Independence day. And, I really got to put speed listening to the test today. It is phenomenal! When I was an online college degree student  we didn’t have this available,  It could have saved me hours of study time and, I think it is more efficient too.

Speed-Listening shares many of the same benefits of speed reading with one major advantage.

Because your brain can process up to 600 words-per-minute and the average person speaks at 125 to 150 words-per-minute, speed-listening does NOT require any training. speed-listening simply maximizes your brains natural ability to process more words-per-minute.

Most people can easily speed up their educational audio teaching to 150% of regular or normal speed without any effort and most importantly with full comprehension.

The problem prior to FasterAudio speed-listening software has been that when you try to accelerate Mp3 and Wav audio file, listening to them at faster speed sounds like a chipmunk! Not only is listening to the chipmunk effect annoying but over prolonged periods it can give you a head ache too. This makes listening and actually learning from the chipmunked audio almost impossible and defeats the purpose of the faster speed.

Another problem listening to sped-up audio that sounds like a chipmunk is the maximum speed you can actually speed listen to chipmunked audio with good comprehension is very very low.

But for many chipmunked speed-listening has been the only solution for speed-listening until now…

Stay tuned for the offical launch date to learn more.
