Fun. I have a strongly modulated North American midwestern accent so unsurprisingly it had me read several paragraphs before only being able to say with any certainty that my accent was 83% English with the rest being Spanish/Russian. It couldn't detect the country of origin.


Agreed, pretty meh. Tried my usual accent (the one where natives mostly can’t tell where I'm from) — got 78%. Then went full cartoon russian ‘bad neighborhood’ mode — somehow scored 68%.
