    This also goes for comments. If your comment is longer than a minute or so I ain't listening.

    Could probably talk faster than that if given the chance. :) but I'd need way less caffeine.

    take the chance. Lets see it. I do wish there were a way to speed up ramblio audio playback. That would make these long messages and posts easier sometimes. Like example. Someone last week sent me a 15 minute long DM. I listened to it but it was just hard on my brain.

    that 15 minute dm would get 0 minutes of my attention.

    There is, on all platforms as far as I know. I play almost everything at 2x.

    I've never seen how to do so on the mac or iOS.

    On Windows the shortcuts are Alt+Period and Alt+Comma. I can't remember for sure but I think they might use Command on the Mac.

    I don’t think that the length of a ramble by itself is a strong enough determinant as to whether or not I will listen to it or not personally, I’d prefer a long post that taught me something than a short one that was just some bullshit nonsense

    It depends on topic, and poster because some really good ones are long and interesting. key word is some!

    except you can't get transcripts of comments. At least not on the mac app.

    yeah I'm so fucking thankful transcription exists. I wish it could extend to comments, but I imagine that's not exactly something that can just be achieved by waving a magic wand. I freely admit that if I like you enough you could send me a damn novel and I'd sit through it. However, if I don't know you like that, you maybe have two minutes of my attention before the colony of squirrels that live in my brain direct me to literally anything else :P

    I'm just glad the two times speed feature exists. That's how I listen to rambles and comments.

    I saw one that fascinated me, where the transcript included a "lyrics" tag surrounding actual song lyrics amid what the poster was saying directly. I wonder if that signals a coming change in what the transcriptions will actually support.

    Hehehe, I do vary widely on fillers myself. But I think of transcripts as more like court reporter transcripts than summaries. It sure would be more efficient to leave them out, but that's a judgment call that is left, in both cases, to the reader or listener; and rightly so even though sometimes that is slower. I have also seen VoiceOver and other synths transcribed, along with background from TV and such. At least for now, the system just transcribes any word it hears. I think it would be cool if those "lyrics" tags are expanded to include tags for different voices, even when the voices can't actually be named.

    Oh no, transcripts don't defeat the point of audio messages; they allow faster management of them only. Sometimes I use the "Play from here" button to hear part of the audio while reading the rest as a transcript. But there are multiple advantages of there being an audio version, including human recognition of each other, expression that doesn't translate to text, inclusion of non-vocal sounds such as soundscapes and music and ambience; and ease of communication for people who speak more easily than they write.
