Speed controls for voice to be able to listen to responses more time efficiently

Hey @Jeannemb, totally get this, being stuck at one playback speed can feel pretty limiting, especially if you’re used to podcast-style controls. Before this gets passed along, it’d really help to understand your setup a bit better: 1. What are you ultimately trying to accomplish with faster playback? 2. What are you doing today instead, and what’s not working about it? 3. If this worked perfectly (say 1.5x or 2x), what would be noticeably better for you? For now, a couple of folks have worked around this by switching voice models since some naturally speak faster or slower. You can also try prompting it to speak faster or slower in your instruction, not perfect but it can help a bit. -Mark G.
