Field notes
Lex Speedman maps transcript speaker labels onto playback controls rather than applying one speed to an entire recording. Lex can run at 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, or 2x while the guest stays at 1x by default; the page says the method can reduce episode time by up to 20%. It relies on official transcripts hosted at lexfridman.com and does not generate captions, so episodes without those transcripts are outside its stated coverage.
