Kiirusvalikud

Kiirusvalikud is a term used in Estonian-language technology writing to describe a user interface feature that offers a set of predefined speed options. The words kiirus and valikud mean speed and choices, respectively. Kiirusvalikud provide quick, predictable pacing for a process without requiring precise, continuous control.

They appear in software and hardware across multiple domains. In software, kiirusvalikud are common in media players, learning platforms, and simulations to adjust playback or pacing. In hardware and embedded systems, they can configure motor, processor, or energy-saving speeds. The goal is to give users a convenient way to tailor speed to their needs.

Typical presets include simple multipliers such as 0.5x, 1x, 1.5x, and 2x, or labeled options like Slow, Normal, and Fast. Design choices emphasize clear labels, sensible defaults, and consistent behavior across contexts. Accessibility considerations include keyboard shortcuts and screen-reader announcements when a speed is changed.

There is no universal standard for kiirusvalikud; implementations vary by platform and domain. The concept is related to broader ideas such as playback speed controls, pacing mechanisms, and user preference settings.
