It's fun but as I tested it I realized how this is pretty much the modern equivalent of a Facebook quiz that asks you the name of your first pet, first car and mother's maiden name.

If they recorded any of that they likely have enough to clone my voice somewhat faithfully.

Congratulations on labelling my French Canadian accent as French though, I'll have to work on my pronounciation more to fool the AI.

Interesting, I was hoping it would be more specific than "English" (e.g. "Southern Illinois"), but I'm sure that's just around the corner. It looks like this is an advertisement for a product to "lose" your accent, so as long as you sound like a native English-speaker they're happy.

I tried again using an outrageously bad (probably to the point of offense) Scottish brogue and it pegged it as German.

I guess I don't have my native language's accent (which I tend to hear from native English speakers).

It guessed Hebrew. My native language is Portuguese.
