# Can I listen faster without the chipmunk voice?

Yes. The speed control in the transport runs from 0.5× to 2× and preserves the pitch, so a 2× pass through an episode still sounds like a person — which is how you proof an hour of audio in half an hour.

**Where:** The transport bar in either editor — the ×-button next to play.

Speed changes playback only. It never touches the recording or the export, so leaving it on 2× costs nothing.

The practical use is review: skim the episode fast, and drop back to 1× when something needs a careful ear.
