Merge

[edit]

This article seems to be on the same subject as the article on Audio timescale-pitch modification. Perhaps the two should be merged

Thought a link to the other article might be useful. Astronaut (talk) 00:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the articles are related; however, the article you linked is primarily about time-stretching, whereas this article is about time-compression. Also, time-compressed speech is ubiquitous enough (appearing at the end of a great many radio and TV advertisements), that I think it deserves its own article, independent of the more technical general article to which you linked.
This article should, however, be fleshed out a bit. Some mention should be made of the techniques used to time-compress speech without altering the original pitch. For example:

There should be some mention of the rationale and uses for using time-compression:

And of the use for commercial disclaimers, and some of the consumer studies and legal challenges that have been brought to bear on the practice:
