It detects my non-native English accent correctly, but then it makes the mistaken assumption that I want to sound like an American of all things?
if you have a british accent it doesn't work. really really doesn't work :(
You have a bit of an accent (no offense, so do I), and that would normally throw the voice recognition software off.
Non-American accents too please as an option for future English voices.
How does it do with non-native accents?
Doesn't seem to work with an Australian / New Zealand accent?
The demo seemed to struggle a bit with my accent (Scottish), getting quite a few words wrong - for example, every time I said "test" it would write "taste". Is this something you can improve going forward?
This is fun to test as a native English speaker from New England. It doesn't seem to be a fan of my accent on certain words.
Interesting. Is there any way to make the audio match the language's accent?
It seems to either not recognize the phrase at all, or it says my accent is perfect. Since I'm an American, I'm doubtful about the accuracy.
