Abstract
A method, a structure, and a computer system for playback optimization. The exemplary embodiments may include transcribing an audio stream at normal and at high playback speed, as well as determining whether portions of the audio stream are unintelligible at the high playback speed. The exemplary embodiments may further include reducing a speed of the high playback speed for portions determined unintelligible, and transcribing the audio stream with the unintelligible portions played at the reduced high playback speed. The exemplary embodiments may further include determining whether the unintelligible portions are still unintelligible at the reduced high playback speed and, if not, identifying the reduced high playback speed as an optimal playback speed of the unintelligible portions. The exemplary embodiments may additionally include, in response to receiving a request to play the audio stream at the high playback speed, playing the unintelligible portions at the optimal playback speed.
