When it offers to distinguish your accent, I thought it would be more specific, at least by country if not by region. I'm from the southwest region of the U.S., with what some would call a "non accent," or nuetral. I also make an effort to enunciate clearly (after learning how to do that in choir in 7th grade--clearly enunciating vowels and consonants, not slurring).
The first time I tried it, it said, "You sound like a native English speaker – whether from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, or elsewhere. I couldn’t identify any distinct non-native accent." But then it broke down percentages. (How can that be with no "distinct non-native accent"???)
English 54%
Chinese 38%
Spanish 16%
Chinese??? That was crazy. I even used a headset when speaking so that it would be clearer than just using the computer mic.
You probably eat a lot rice, that's why Chinese.
