Audio Speed Changer

Speed up or slow down recordings for language learning, lectures, and music practice, with pitch preservation as an optional feature.
What is Audio Speed Changer?
Audio Speed Changer lets you speed up or slow down audio files from 0.25x to 3.0x for language learning, lecture review, transcription, and music practice. It features a dedicated Preserve Pitch toggle powered by Overlap-Add (WSOLA) time-stretching so speech stays natural without sounding like a chipmunk, plus an independent semitone pitch shifter (-12 to +12 semitones).
