I'm from Britain and it rated my accent as 99-100% British the few times that I tried it. So not bad from my point of view. Meanwhile, I wonder what Cambridge Consultants are going to do with a dataset of thousands of Hacker News users reading out the sentence "Please call Stella and ask her to meet Bob the frog at the store with three small red plastic bags".
Leave them on random people's voicemail, probably.
Saying nothing qualifies for British. Legit.
This thing put me at 94% American ;)
It's funny that my south indian accent was 90% match to American and my "normal" Indian accent was split 50-50.

This is kind of fun for practicing accents. Even with my "best" attempt at a British accent I never got below 80% American. Would be cool to see if it had any data for identifying some more specific American accents though.
It picked up on the parts of the generic British accent (London accent?) that us Americans think about and exaggerate when mimicking a British accent—tall vowels, especially the "O"s and "A"s.
Also, this is measuring my "reading accent" which is much more British than my normal speaking voice.
