US Patent 10249321 Sound rate modification

Sound rate modification techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an indication is received of an amount that a rate of output of sound data is to be modified. One or more sound rate rules are applied to the sound data that, along with the received indication, are usable to calculate different rates at which different portions of the sound data are to be modified, respectively. The sound data is then output such that the calculated rates are applied.
