Fell for it. 90% czech, 10% polish. Nothing further from the reality. I guess it just geolocates by IP?


Doubt it. I'm traveling in Hawaii right now and am Chinese-American who can speak Spanish, but it labeled me as Hindi/Urdu.


So I picked up the Czech accent but not the language, dang.


I'm in Japan, it correctly detected French. Can't be much further away geolocation wise.


Don't think so, couldn't pick my Australian accent from here in Australia.

I'll go back and lay it on real thick and see if it does better.


I think we both misunderstood.

> You sound like a native English speaker. I couldn’t identify any distinct non-native accent.

I am a native English speaker, with an Australian accent. I think it's supposed to identify your non-english-native accent, which you wouldn't have one being Australian.


worked 100% identifying my accent


guessed 100% czech for me as well, wrongly
