1. A method, comprising: receiving a first command; playing audio or video program material based on the first command; fast forwarding through the program material based on a second command; terminating fast forward progression through the program material based on a third command; detecting a current position in the program material where the termination occurred; determining a positional offset that is an estimate of user reaction time where the user recognizes an audio or video passage being played during fast forward progression and reacts to issue the third command; calculating a new position in the program material to compensate for a difference between the current position and a predicted termination point in the program material by subtracting the positional offset from the current position; and playing the program material starting at the new position based on the third user command; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
