Wonder if can add playback button for faster & slower reading speeds when go to listen to audio, like see for other audio book readers.

Finding just the right speed can make it easier to listen & learn by ensuring reading pace better calibrated to brain's listening pace.

Hi there and welcome!

I guess you're listening via an app?
We only make the books on here, not anything you can use to listen. :wink:
Please contact the developer of the app (or webpage or...??) you use to listen to our books.
Thanks.
Cheers, Ava.

They are all hosted on Archive - we don't distribute any files we just have links - we have no player. The player on your computer may have speed buttons ??

If you go to the Internet Archive page linked on the left side of the LibriVox catalog page, there are some options to adjust the speed using the streaming player.
