first time i chatted to him online i asked him what was up with the porn stache he was rockin in some of his youtube videos

how is this possible i thought you had to listen to audio versions? wouldnt you have to speed it up to the point a normal human couldnt discern words just a high pitched hum?

My brother had a friend with encyclopaedic knowledge of silent films... turned out he had seen so many cos he watched em all speeded up, said it didn't matter if there was no speaking.

I don't like youtubes speed algorithm. It tries to adjust speed not pitch, which only works for 2 semitones max. Pitch that motherfucker up!

I was once going to do a techstep mix at +40 and pass it off as nuskool UK funky. But I thought better of it.

I was once at a work presentation with a blind person presenting, trying to explain their way of accessing information, and they played us a clip of how fast their screen reader went. It was literally incomprehensible, unbelievably fast.

Giz us a sec and I'll record a clip of it reading neon screams.

Yeah it was like that. But do you adjust the speed?

That's my standard reading speed. It can go faster.

that's mind-boggling to me.

hes pulling yur leg

i don't think he is though.

He's pulling your leg so quickly you can't process it.

In a study done at the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research, an average sighted person can understand speech at six syllables per second. I say sighted because, in their study, they found some blind people can listen and comprehend speech at an astonishing 25 syllables per second. The researchers show that a blind person can repurpose parts of their brains used for visual processing and use it for auditory processing.

Extraordinary Ability of Blind People to Hear Ultrafast Speech

New research presented at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego shows that blind people can understand speech at ultrafast rates, well beyond what a sighted person can comprehend. Usi…

Well let's wait for his answer. Cos this other guy said he was listening and understanding stuff that was similar to that clip

25 syllables per second is simialr to that clip

Not an altogether bad idea.

But for the record, this is unabashedly false.

But actually during a Yale music theory lecture, the guy said that certain melodies work at higher pitches because they "clear" faster, being shorter wavelengths. Maybe there are similar dynamics to exploit with speaking pitches.
