It doesn't work - it seemed to catch my accent once I ran it a couple of times on the same browser, but... in the incognito mode, it fails every single time, ranging from French and Swedish to Swahili. :D When I mumbled a bit and lowered my voice, it said 97% English, lol. Maybe its model treats mumbling as the UK, hard to say. When I added a bit of "R," it immediately recognized me as Russian, ignoring everything else. And when I increased my pitch without changing anything else, it started detecting Persian and Spanish. When I used a proxy server pointing to Scandinavia, it started detecting Swedish, lol. Fake as hell. I'm Polish, btw.


Haha. Developer of app is russian. It seems that in best russian imperialistic tradition he thinks that anything repotely Slavic is russian.
