After months of testing, Netflix is joining myriad streaming services in adopting variable speed playback. Subscribers with Android phones will be able to watch programs at 0.5x, 0.75x, 1x, 1.25x, and 1.5x speeds. Creators have been dismayed with the feature since its testing, but advocates for those with hearing or vision loss say it s a win.
In officially rolling out variable speed playback, the company said consumer demand ultimately drove the decision to do so. In endorsements to The Verge, the National Association of the Deaf and the National Federation of the Blind also affirmed benefits such as making captions easier to read and allowing those who can only appreciate audio to listen at a faster pace.
