Existing: Partially, https://github.com/westonruter/html5-audio-read-along
To do: Speed can be changed in the browser through HTML5MediaElement.playbackRate. Other user settings must be defined and implemented.
Identified as a component during the pilot study.

There should probably be controls for this by default in the player, as it is something that some users will want to change easily. Changing speed while playing would also be helpful.
It's worth separating the mechanisms needed to actually deal with sped up recitation and the mechanism(s) for triggering it.
In a first implementation the triggering mechanisms could be limited to doing it from the player interface. Storing the default player speed can be left to later (when we introduce a settings page). A global config setting could be implemented before to prepare the way.
As a result some parts might be broken out of this task.
