speeding up digital voice files

[JCJeski]

Simply put, can I use Sound Forge or some other program to speed up
and CD record voice lectures that I have recorded on a Sony Digital
Recorder, without re-recording these voice files at the speeded up
rate?

I have a Sony digital recorder that has "DPC" or digital pitch
control. This allows me to record a lecture and play it back at a
faster rate. Sony's DPC allows me to speed up the lecture 30 to 60%
during playback (playing back either on my computer, with Sony's
software, or via the recorder itself) which means I can listen to a 2
hour lecture in a much shorter time period.

I want to transfer speeded up recordings onto CDs and as MP3 files
onto my MP3 player.

Is there a way to do this with one of the audio editing programs out
there?
I'm thinking some version of SoundForge might have the DPC speeding up
software, since I believe SoundForge is Sony software.

I have not been able to obtain this information from the Sony website
so far. I've also tried to e-mail Sony, but they seem to assume I've
already bought SoundForge, and insist on knowing the serial number for
the software (I don't have it yet, but would consider buying it if it
has the DPC and speeding up capabilities for recording onto CDs and
MP3)

Please help, and a direct reply to me at would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Yes. Look for the "Time Stretch" feature. Set it to less than 100%.
