Listen to Amazon Alexa speed-reading.
Users can ask Alexa to "speak slower" or "speak faster."
Amazon said it built this feature to help people hard of hearing and for people who are used to listening to audio at faster rates.Amazon on Wednesday announced that customers can now control the speed of Alexa's speech when the voice assistant responds to a message. That means you can adjust the speed so it's easier to understand. Amazon said some of its customers who are hard of hearing have requested slower speeds and that some customers "who are blind or low vision are used to consuming audio content and want to be able to listen more quickly."Alexa now has seven different speed rates for responses, including the default option, two slow rates and four faster options.
