**TL;DR: faster playback translates to quick progress, better engagement, and retention.**
Average adult reads prose text at [250 to 300 words per minute](http://www.paperbecause.com/PIOP/files/f7/f7bb6bc5-2c4a-466f-9ae7-b483a2c0dca4.pdf) (wpm). By contrast, the average rate of speech for English speakers is ~150 wpm, with slide presentations often closer to 100 wpm. As a result, when given the choice, many viewers [speed up video playback to ~1.3~1.5 its recorded rate](http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/coet/compression/chi99/paper.pdf) to compensate for the difference.

By contrast, the average rate of speech for English speakers is ~150 wpm, with slide presentations often closer to 100 wpm. As a result, when given the choice, many viewers [speed up video playback to ~1.3\~1.5 its recorded rate](http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/coet/compression/chi99/paper.pdf) to compensate for the difference.
Many viewers report that [accelerated viewing keeps their attention longer](http://www.enounce.com/docs/BYUPaper020319.pdf): faster delivery keeps the viewer more engaged with the content. In fact, with a little training many end up watching videos at 2x+ the recorded speed. Some studies report that after being exposed to accelerated playback, [listeners become uncomfortable](http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~barons/html/avios92.html#beasleyalteredspeech) if they are forced to return to normal rate of presentation.
