Well I'm sure the ability requires training, but I wonder if it is specific to screen readers. Consider what you quote: > we’re likely limited by how quickly we can gather our thoughts Now the amount of relevant info on a screen is typically small enough that a sighted person can zero in on it at a glance and perhaps just click a button without thinking. I.e. the amount of info that deserves "gathering our thoughts" is typically very small. So if that is the bottle-neck, your colleague can keep cranking up the audio speed until low-level processing audio becomes the bottle-neck, which is a regime that sighted people never deal with even, not even the nerds who speed up their Joe Rogan podcasts.
