Can I change the audio speed of the reader?

Yes! Playback speed is fully adjustable in Dwell, anywhere from 0.75x to 2x.

Two Ways to Adjust Playback Speed

You can change your speed from the player itself or from the options menu. Use whichever is easier.

From the player

  1. Start playing any audio selection.

  2. Tap the current speed on the left side of the player.

  3. Choose your preferred speed from the list.

From the options menu

  1. Start playing any audio selection.

  2. Tap the options button at the bottom of your screen.

  3. Tap Playback Speed.

  4. Set your speed anywhere from 0.75x to 2x.


Changing Speed While You Listen

Speed changes apply in real time, so you can adjust while a passage is playing and hear the difference immediately.
