| Got it wrong, but only just | Jan 16 |
It wasn't sure after just one text, so it had me read a tongue twister as a second text, and then it guessed Dutch. It's difficult to fake a native accent with a tongue twister.

OK, this is kinda fun. 
Got it right the first time. I guess my Indonesian accent is thick enough for the robot to identify.

| Accent hard to guess? | Jan 16 |
I think my accent is very hard to guess, this is the third time I've tried and the robot says 'I couldn't hear you properly. Please try again.'
🙄
An issue with my speakers stopped me from doing this, but the truth is that in one of my attempts the robot said I must be very special because it couldn't detect my accent.

I don´t remember where you're from originally, but French!??? Isn't your native language some sort of English or British?

Yes indeed. What is even more surprising is that the first time it was able to identify that I was a native speaker of English, but not where I was from (which I thought was disappointingly lacking in ambition).
The second time round it lost it completely.

'Your accent is Albanian'.
84% Albanian
12% Russian
2% English

Likewise for me.
"You sound like a native English speaker – whether from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, or elsewhere. I couldn’t identify any distinct non-native accent."
I'm a native Brit, originally from the west Midlands (Staffordshire). I wouldn't expect it to get that, but I would expect it to be able to tell I'm not American or Australian.

The robot detected my accent as 100% Japanese. Awesome!
However, there were other possibilities,
Japanese 100%
Chinese 0%
Swedish 0%
I can understand that Chinese was one of the candidates, but Swedish???
Why the heck did the robot choose Swedish as one possibility?

The result?
"Your accent is Italian my friend. I identified your accent based on subtle details in your pronunciation."
Italian - 75%
I can't claim to know much about Italian culture, but…

When it offers to distinguish your accent, I thought it would be more specific, at least by country if not by region. I'm from the southwest region of the U.S., with what some would call a "non accent," or nuetral. I also make an effort to enunciate clearly (after learning how to do that in choir in 7th grade--clearly enunciating vowels and consonants, not slurring).

The first time I tried it, it said, "You sound like a native English speaker – whether from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, or elsewhere. I couldn’t identify any distinct non-native accent." But then it broke down percentages. (How can that be with no "distinct non-native accent"???)
English 54%
Chinese 38%
Spanish 16%
Chinese??? That was crazy. I even used a headset when speaking so that it would be clearer than just using the computer mic. ▲ Collapse
