Request for adding an option to control audio speed

I suggest adding an option to speed up and slow down the mode of audio playback in ChatGPT. This feature is simple and can be implemented quickly, even by a basic programmer with the help of ChatGPT. Many students, especially those in college and high school, make up a large portion of your customer base. Competing platforms like Gemini offer this control, making it crucial for ChatGPT to include it to stay competitive.

It would be nice if it could also be more finely controlled based on a device setting. Iā€™m not referring to generating the text to be read, but while you are using voice interactions, having ChatGPT respond at speeds ranging from 0.5x to 2.5x or more would be nice. Consider trying a new spoken language (slower would be nice form time to time), or discussing something you have deep knowledge of (the speed boost would be great in this instance).

I suggest more details:
I would like the Read Aloud feature to have a speed control option that allows playback up to 3x speed. Instead of only having preset speed buttons like WhatsApp (e.g., 1x, 1.5x, 2x), it would be much better to include a slider-based control like YouTube for finer adjustments. However, preset speed buttons should still be available for quick switching.

The ideal setup would include:

  1. A slider (for precise speed adjustments up to 3x).

  2. Preset speed buttons (for quick switching, like 1x, 1.5x, 2x, 3x).

This combination would make speed control much more flexible and user-friendly.
