A student visiting a site with MySpeed Web Control embedded could, for instance, view a tutorial and use speed controls to fast forward through redundant information and to slow down when viewing complicated material.

Viewers are locked in to a speed that is often too slow for their learning capacity. Busy professionals and students want to control the pace of videos to increase their productivity and absorb critical information faster. With MySpeed Web Control users benefit because they can:

"MySpeed Web Control is the result of a flood of requests to add ‘speedability' to online video," said Don Henja, president of Enounce. "Requests have come from organizations associated with online education and distance learning, corporate training, language learning, how-to websites, and even how to learn to play an instrument. Any web page that contains video will see more traffic, longer visitor stays and ultimately higher revenue." Enounce MySpeed is the first solution to allow users to speed up or slow down the playback rate of Adobe's Flash-formatted videos without any "chipmunk" quality to the sound. Users can change the playback speed of videos they watch on YouTube, ESPN and other websites, as well as corporate training, educational courses and seminars, and other Flash video material. MySpeed Web Control can be embedded on a website by simply adding a few lines of HTML/JS. Installation for users is painless and similar to installing Adobe Flash. MySpeed Web Control runs on both the PC and Macintosh and with most popular browsers. An enterprise license of MySpeed Web Control is available now from Enounce. Consumers can download a 7-day trial of MySpeed for their own Windows-based PC in seconds at: http://www.enounce.com/. A version of MySpeed for the Mac is currently in Alpha.
