I am an active user of Gemini and I highly appreciate the text-to-speech (audio output) feature. However, to improve the accessibility and User Experience (UX), I would like to suggest the following critical enhancements for the audio player interface:
-
Playback Speed Control: Users should be able to adjust the audio speed (e.g., 0.5x, 1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x). This is extremely helpful for power users who want to consume information faster.
-
Audio Seeking/Timeline Scrubbing: Currently, we cannot skip or jump to a specific part of the audio. Adding a seek bar (timeline) would allow users to play, pause, and resume from any specific point.
These features would significantly improve productivity and make the audio feature much more robust. Looking forward to seeing these updates in future releases!
