Doesn’t work for people in environments where the above two are essentially true.
25 minutes is still longer than 10 minutes (transcript, slides would be even shorter although less informative), and I was being conservative about reading speed.
I'm trying 1.5x, but then when he is speaking it is too fast
>skip ahead
I skipped the introduction, but the standstill periods are too short, and you have no way of knowing when something interesting will happen, so skipping ahead entails missing things. This is where a copy of the slides is particularly useful: you can identify those slides you don't comprehend, or of particular interest, and sit through the speaking just for these portions.
Listening to things fast is a skill - you can do it but it requires practice. If you know any blind/vision impaired people who use screen readers you should ask them to use speaker for a bit while they’re browsing/navigating etc.
It is absolutely incredible how fast some of them have the audio going at. (It also makes any pausing or lag in your application excrutiating. It turns out 10ms being “noticeable” is more a factor of how you interact with an application.
How do you scan forward for the interesting stuff? How do you search for a quote a friend sent you? What if you’re deaf? Or blind and can’t read the slides?
Just transcribe it and include the slides! If you can afford the speaker you can afford to make it accessible.
