when the r1 reads results it’s way too slow. i end up reading it myself but i cant make her stop talking. so i’m unable to absorb what i’m reading. and then i try to turn down the volume but i lose the results and i gota check on my phone.

could we please fix both of those? options to speed up playback and adjust the volume without losing results.

Scrubbing through the audio would be cool. The line that is being read becoming orange and you being able to go foreward or backward.

Also feels pretty teenage engineering like to make the experience ‘audio first’ and really responsive. It would fit the rabbit to do something playful like that.

It would also autoscroll ofcourse and read segment by segment

i think the speed and volume control bug me most. i wish there was a setting to make it speak faster and a way to change volume while it’s speaking. i also like the idea of text being highlighted.

> Hi, I’ve noticed an issue when using the translation mode on my Rabbit R1. It’s practically impossible to reproduce the pronunciation accurately when practicing. If the device offered a lower speed option for playback, it would greatly help in improving pronunciation. This feature would be especially useful for those of us using the Rabbit R1 to learn new languages. Thanks for considering this suggestion!
