#162Hmmm... it doesn't differentiate between English accents, like UK (actually there are a bunch of sub-accents), Canadian or US (of which there are a bunch of sub-accents.)
It only does non-English accents I guess. That wasn't clear.
Re: AI Guesses Your Accent
#163This was a big confidence booster for me as when I first started learning English, people would complement me on how well I spoke English, but I took that as my accent was still detectable. It's only been in the past 5 years that people assumed I was American and made no comment on my English at all, until I disclosed that English was my second language. It's usually certain words that give me trouble, like "cupboard…
What do you think helped you the most to eliminate your accent?

Sounds a bit too much to ask. Getting enough labelled training data for each English speaking country (why would you even class the UK as one when England alone has dozens of accents?) in the world is likely a challenge

#165I knew my accent was strong, but I didn't expect to get 100% Portuguese, which is strange since Portuguese from Portugal sounds more like Eastern Europe, and Portuguese Brazil is more like Spanish. Maybe it considers both accents to be Portuguese? A fun fact: When using Whisper by OpenAI, there seems to be a ~1% chance that all my text, which was spoken entirely in English, is automatically transcribed and translated…
> Portuguese from Portugal sounds more like Eastern Europe, and Portuguese Brazil is more like Spanish.
Surely you mean the opposite? Portugal is literally next to Spain and both languages have coexisted since they were both born following Rome's fall. Both Galician and Portugal's Portugese are likely similar to each other and closer to Spanish than Brazil's Portuguese

I am not sure that is the case. There is an AI accent generator that can do different English accents, sort of what I was suggesting to identify:

#167Whenever time permits, I have a (bad) habit of viewing source code of new website. In this case, I found this on this website: (haven't read the js yet to see what's the true intent but surely a sign of horrible engineering) edit- seems like remix customizations. "remove-watch-video-requirement": { "defaultValue": false, "rules": [{ "condition": { "env": "prod", "email": { "$in": [" @gmail.com", "redacted"] } }, "for…
My guess is that it's from their SSR framework (ie. remix), which serialized way too many things and sent it to the client. That, and they're using the same feature flag project/config as their main app, because looking at the feature flags it's clearly to do with their main app (ie. AI voice training) rather than this AI voice guesser app.

#168"English (US, UK, or AU)". There are dozens of regional accents lumped in that, come on, try harder. See https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/dialect-quiz...
Re: AI Guesses Your Accent
#169It'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.
That’s all we need: FarmVille but trickier.
