We actually did something like this for non-native English speakers a few months back. Check out https://accentoracle.com (most mind-blowing if you're a non native English speaker)
Well, it says I'm Finish. But now I have a new game, where I put on my best Italian or Russian or Greek or Australian accent and try to see how close I am.
I'm terrible, according to the program. My Italian is Russian or Hungarian or Swedish, my Australian is English.
Fun. I have a strongly modulated North American midwestern accent so unsurprisingly it had me read several paragraphs before only being able to say with any certainty that my accent was 83% English with the rest being Spanish/Russian. It couldn't detect the country of origin.
Agreed, pretty meh. Tried my usual accent (the one where natives mostly can’t tell where I'm from) — got 78%. Then went full cartoon russian ‘bad neighborhood’ mode — somehow scored 68%.
I would love to be able to explore combinations of X spoken language with Y accent, like for example I've always been curious how French sounds spoken with an Indian accent.
Was that right? Or what is the correct native language it should have predicted? Note the %s in the accent breakdown section are prediction probabilities
