Well I can listen to text to speech at ~550 wpm anyway. You apparently think that's impossible, all a jam of syllables. I have friends who do similar.

no respite is a matter of practice. time to parse the content is not that hard if you've already learned to RSVP faster.

you're basically denying what you don't know how to do, for no apparent reason.
