## 🚀 Feature Request

Audio overview: speed up & down

## 🔍 Problem Statement

1. As a user I want to be able to listen to audio overviews at a higher speed in the languages I am fluent in so that I can save time. Being the audio overview one unique selling proposition for the upgrade, I want to be able to use it as my Spotify with the same ease

2. as a multilingual user using perplexity to learn languages by listening and reading to content I am interested into, I want to be able to speed the listening of audio overviews down.

## 💡 Proposed Solution

You can create a simple toggle to click on, which will provide either some options of playback speed (YouTube like) or a gear to modulate it (as Spotify)

## 📌 API Impact

It can be experimented on simple search first. Then checked for additional components. I assume it woul be good for deep research to have brief quick executive summaries here and there.

## 🔄 Alternatives Considered

## Nope. I just suffer through it and when I get too annoyed I unsubscribe or go back to Spotify for pre-registered podcasts/news
