If you’ve ever wished that you could quickly and accurately skim through a web video, much like you do a book…or slow down a web video to better learn a difficult task…now you can with a new product released earlier this month called MySpeed from Enounce.
It’s a Windows based application (no Mac version available at this time) that you simply install on your PC. Then, when visiting any web site that plays Flash-based videos (like YouTube), you can move a slider bar left or right to speed up or slow down the video.
Aside from fast-forwarding through pre-roll video ads, MySpeed is most useful for educational videos, say lectures or demonstrations, where you want to quickly skip through parts of a video or slow things down to better understand certain segments. The slow down feature is also useful if you are transcribing videos.
You can see a demo of MySpeed and download a free trial by clicking here.
Fully licensed versions of the software run from $29 to $99.
Hey Dave,
Yeah, Enounce is great!
I have been using it for about 1 year,
so it has been around for more than a year.
It can be a little buggy at times, and
sometimes the slider bar likes to totally
disappear, but it works like a charm most
of the time…
I use MySpeed extensively when watching all
your training videos in your WebVideoTraining
monthly membership site…
Dave, you have soooo muuuch video content
on that Super-Site that at regular speed
I wouldn’t get through it all until 2011… 🙂
I use 2x to 2.4x speed-up, usually.
Only the music tracks don’t sound good at
that speed, but voice audio sounds fast and fine!
Great site, and you are a Great Teacher!
Your friend in Texas,
Doctor Michael Quadlander
