Fell for it. 90% czech, 10% polish. Nothing further from the reality. I guess it just geolocates by IP?
I'm in Japan, it correctly detected French. Can't be much further away geolocation wise.

#52This 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" or "chef". The AI detected my accent as a mixture of German and English. When I tried to exaggerate my accent, it correctly detected Thai.

#53Well, as a German native speaker I’m quite satisfied that I can trick it into thinking I’m English :)
Not me, I came out as 98% German. Oh well, I just need to own it!
95% german, 5% dutch. Guess I can't stop schnacking on platt to some degree.
Though this is raising the fun question: What makes a german accent in english? Harsh consonants? Is there some wiki or some articles to read up on that?

#54It told me my accent was Spanish. I'm a native English speaker from Ireland living in NYC :)

#55Holy shit. I grew up in Armenia when I was 8 and been in the US for 22 years, and by all accounts English is my primary language, and this got it spot on, with 84% confidence. Was not expecting that for such a unknown accent. I am guessing this was not trained on a dataset of people speaking English in various accents, but rather is directly detecting your native language.
I don't know, I'm Parska-Hye and came here when I was 9. I got 43% German, 23% English, 22% Hindu.

#56this is the gen z/gen alpha equivalent of those "useless" personality surveys. stop feeding these companies your data.
Bold voice is an app for improving your accent. This makes a case for a legitimate publicity stunt.

To be fair, parka-hye dialect is even more esoteric. I am guessing this was trained on eastern armniean

#58Wasn't even close. It suggested a language I do not speak.

#59Well, that's a terrible way to market a product. Not only do I not speak Hindi, but I also don't sound like I speak Hindi.

#60AI fingerprints your voice and sells it to ad companies
What does this mean - could you elaborate on what you mean by ad companies and how they would use voice data?
Probably should be read as "bad actors", who, with enough samples of your voice, could theoretically do shady things like robo-call your mom, pretending to be you.
