LiquidSpeech

Liquid Speech allows you to create, edit, and consume a new kind of highly compact media , called an adjustable screenplay, whose level of detail and information density you can alter, in order to reduce or increase cognitive burden, so that you are neither frustrated nor bored.

This is analogous to asking a human companion to slow down or get to the point.

You can see LiquidSpeech in action by watching the following YouTube videos:

LiquidSpeech uses text to speech technology to perform electronic screenplays, for example depicting debates, multi-lingual conversations, and scientific conference presentations, using one or more distinctly identifiable voices. Screenplays are stored by the software as collections of text fragments whose relationships to each other have been documented in machine readable form, so as to make it possible for the software to comply with user requests that various aspects of the presentation be altered. This includes complying with user requests to increase or decrease the level of detail of a presentation, requests to increase or decrease the information density of a presentation, and requests to present again material that has already been presented using alternative wordings. User adjustable cognitive burden allows transformation of professional development into entertainment, and highly compact information representation allows storage of thousands of hours of material on hand held electronic devices.
