Yeh they seem to be in the same "major" cluster, although Serbian/Croatian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Polish and Czech are all close. Turkish and Persian seem to be the nearest…

Yeh, we would've loved to see that too. It's on our roadmap for sure. Same for some of the other languages with a large amount of unique accents like e.g. French, Chinese, Arabic, …

Nothing too secret in there! We anonymized everything and anyway it's just a basic Plotly plot. Feel free to check it out.

Good question! It's likely because there are lots of different accents of Spanish that are distinct from each other. Our labels only capture the native language of the speaker righ…

We did built two free tools, which are geared towards non-native English speakers. You can find them at https://accentoracle.com and https://accentfilter.com . They're less effecti…

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

No, the dataset isn't published beyond what you see on the 2D visualization. Sorry.

For sure, and I don't think we ever use the term default or neutral. The "the American English accent of our expert accent coach Eliza" is just that -- it's one accent. As a learni…
