*2025-12-27, version 3.71*

The speed-change function, high quality sound, and highlighted text are so helpful. I started from slow speed, x0.6, so that I was able to hear and understand every word; then changed to x0.8. I was still understood it. 
I wished that I had this application before entering the state university.
