Accent Test: AI Voice Detector

Say a few words and find out where your voice sits among sixteen accents of world English - not one label, but a ranked breakdown across all of them.

Most tools recognise three or four accents and hand back a single verdict. This one reads a short phrase, ranks every accent from closest to furthest, and then shows you the specific sounds that gave each one away.

Sixteen Accents, One Recording

Tap record, read a short phrase, and the on-device model returns a ranked percentage across every one of them. No waiting, no upload, no account.

A breakdown, not a verdict

See how strongly you lean American, where an Irish or Scottish edge shows up, how close you sit to an Australian or Indian sound. The interesting part is usually the second and third place, not the first.

Real native speakers

The Accent Guide carries recordings of actual speakers, plus word-level examples of the sounds that give each accent away - rhotic R, T-flapping, broad vowels, syllable timing.

You against a native, side by side

After every test you can compare the two directly. Hearing the difference is the step that reading a phonetic description never quite achieves.

A new accent every day

The Daily Challenge picks one to imitate, with a home-screen widget and a streak. It is the mechanism that turns curiosity into practice.

Training that keeps score

Watch a match score climb attempt after attempt, accent by accent. Retake any past phrase and try to beat your old result.

Accent Passport

Get detected as all sixteen to complete the collection - which is harder, and funnier, than it sounds.

Your voice stays on your device

A recording of someone speaking is biometric data in most people's intuition and in a fair number of legal frameworks. Sending it to a server to be scored is a poor trade for a party trick.

  • Everything runs on device using on-device intelligence.
  • Recordings are processed locally, never uploaded, never stored online, never shared.
  • Nothing is used to train anything, and there is no account to create.
  • It works with the network switched off, which is the easiest way to check the claim.

On Mac

The full breakdown with room to read it - all sixteen rows at once, the guide beside the result, and the export that turns a test into a shareable report.

On iPad

A good size for the comparison screen, where you play a native recording against your own and watch which vowels drift.

On iPhone

Where the daily challenge and the streak actually live, because a minute of practice happens on a phone or it does not happen.

Who Uses It

Some people take one test and screenshot it. Others come back every day for a year. Both are reasonable uses.

English learners

Understanding that "an English accent" is at least six different things, and hearing which one your teacher actually speaks.

Students and teachers

A concrete way into pronunciation and phonetics, where the abstract description of a vowel becomes something you can hear and try.

Actors and voice artists

A quick objective check on whether the accent you are doing lands where you think it lands.

Friends and families

Settling the argument about who sounds most native, which is how most people end up opening it in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

Is my recording uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs on the device using on-device intelligence. Recordings are processed locally and are never uploaded, stored online or shared, and nothing is used to train anything.

How many accents can it actually tell apart?

Sixteen accents of world English: American, Canadian, English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Australian, New Zealand, Indian, Singaporean, Malaysian, Filipino, Hong Kong, South Atlantic, Bermudian and African English.

Does it just name one accent?

No - it returns a ranked percentage across all sixteen, from closest to furthest. The second and third place are usually more revealing than the first, because almost nobody is a single accent.

Can I hear what the accents actually sound like?

Yes. The Accent Guide includes recordings of real native speakers plus word-level examples of the features that define each one - rhotic R, T-flapping, broad vowels, syllable timing. After a test you can compare yourself with a native side by side.

Is there anything to do after the first test?

A daily challenge with a home-screen widget and streaks, training that tracks your match score per accent, Beat Your Score for retaking an old phrase, Guess the Accent, and the Accent Passport for being detected as all sixteen.

Can I keep or share the result?

Yes - export the full sixteen-accent report as an image or a PDF, or share a result card in one tap.

Which platforms does it run on?

iPhone (iOS 16), iPad (iPadOS 16) and Mac (macOS 13) and later. No account and no internet connection is required.
