This ID'd me as a native speaker, but below that it gave that an 81% chance. With 11% Spanish and 4% Russian on the side.


I read the passage aloud once before then hitting the mic button.
 
Interesting find!

I have tried this several times, with the following results:
  • Chinese (26-82%)
  • German (23-83%)
  • French (80%, when I tried to sound like Sgt. Schultz on Hogan's Heroes)
 
This was a fun experiment xD

Since elementary school I've been taught to speak with a somewhat English accent and just continued doing so as I grew up. I don't really ever listen to myself speaking English so I'm wasn't sure what it sounds like but apparently, It's proper enough to fool BoldVoice's Accent Oracle xD:
  • English (88%-94%)
  • Russian (1%)
  • Chinese (1%)
  • German (1-2%)
  • Spanish (2-4%)
  • French (2-4%)

The only time I actually got Danish (to 82% at that) is when I forced that awful Jutland English accent - it was quite difficult and sounded awful xD
 
I'd wonder if a future version could pin native speakers to specific areas/regions within their respective countries.

Same. 82%, 12% Spanish, 3% Russian.

I also got it to think I am 99% Japanese.
