Works in a Scottish accent too.

Certainly! Here's the Litany of Fear written phonetically in a Scottish accent:

"Ah maunae fear. Feer is the leel-deeth that brangs total obleetiration. Ah will face mah feer. Ah will pemreet it tae pass ower me an throo me. An when it hus gaun past, Ah will turn the inner ee tae see its path. Whaur the feer hus gaun, there will be naethin'. Only Ah will remain."

That sounds like it was trained on a broke training set, such as the Scots Wikipedia: https://www.theregister.com/2020/08/26/scots_wikipedia_fake/
They asked for it to be written phonetically in a Scottish accent; they didn’t ask for it to be written in Scots.
How do you know? You can't see the prompt.

There's also not a huge amount of resources for "Scottish written phonetically" except the Scots Wikipedia which was exactly that and written by an American kid.

Brilliant
