You can turn on the various accessibility features and try them yourselves. While I was already aware of the 'voiceover' features, I was blown away by the braille keyboard and how quickly she could type with it.
Blind people use TTS set at ridiculous speeds that make my 1.5x podcast playback seem glacial. Even back in the late 80s I remember a blind classmate who had a portable electronic typewriter thing that read her entries back to her at rapid speed.
Just pop open the console with F12, enter the following and hit enter:
$('video').playbackRate = 2.5
Change `2.5` to whatever number you wish.
Press up in the console to bring back your last command faster with the cursor at the end so you just delete the number, type a new number and hit enter.
