Display Total Audiobook Length at 1x Speed

Feature: Display total estimated audiobook length at 1x speed in HH:MM

Reasons:

1) Education log for trend analysis

1x speed is a simple baseline benchmark to track/compare total material covered over time. The actual time taken on a book is not important to me. I see there is the time log for the book, but it is a different measurement and doesn't fit with my other data tracking.

2) Time planning

Knowing how long a book will take lets me plan my schedule to finish it.

Implementation Idea:

Simply scanning the number of words and knowing how many words per minute the AI is set to speak at in 1x will probably get an estimate within 2% accuracy. Anything within 5% accuracy will work great for me.

Background:

I’m a software engineer and an audiobook monster. I listen to about 20+ books a month at 3-3.5x while driving, hiking, running, etc. Too many books are not in audiobook form yet. This app looks promising to fill the gap for less popular books that don’t have audiobook recordings.

Attachment:

Example of my education log with book length tracked by month/year. If this app could give me the same book length estimates, that would be perfect.

Thank you so much for your time, hard work and consideration!! I signed up for your annual subscription, I look forward to using your app more!
