The title of the App is quite puzzling (so is the weird flag on its side, not quite sure which country this represents). :-) I found this quite fun. Made me smile when it asked for permission to find my location [obviously, the request was denied]. It pinned my location as Nottingham or Wolverhampton. The latter is not too far off geographically. Dialect wise; that's a controversial one. :-) People form Birmingham and the Black Country will get this reference; and be able to guess my location. ;-)

It was a great experience after all I'm trying to develop my British accent.I'm from Iran and actually in this app I realise I was from you know my accent was very close to London and the other thing is it would be even better app if there was a possibility to record your voice and guess the accent based on your real pronunciation instead of phonetics of the words.

Won't even connect to send off my results or recordings. Also thought I was from the wrong places, but I have a peculiar accent to be fair.

Well being from Newcastle-under-Lyme near Stoke, it basically got me exactly, with the entire surrounding area of Stoke being red. Heard it hasn't worked as well for others though...

pretty close.. got Ireland but got Wexford. Im from Dublin. if they can recognize the accent from recording of our voices, that would be gas!

2 of the suggested areas were very close. Shame the app would not connect to upload the results

About this app

Do you pronounce the /r/ in 'arm'? Do you call a shelf a 'sheuf'? And what on earth is a 'hoddy-doddy'? There is extensive variation in English dialects: this is why your answers to such questions will allow this app to localize your broader dialect region on a map of England.

Did your home dialect change over time? Our algorithm is based on historical data from the Survey of English Dialects. If it guesses where you are from correctly, your home dialect has probably remained stable over the past decades. If the guess is far off, however, it is probably because of dialect change.

- Can we localize your dialect based on your pronunciation of 26 words?
- Record your dialect and listen to recordings of other users and to historical dialect recordings!
- Choose a pronunciation variant, e.g. 'sheuf', and discover where in England it is used...or choose a place and explore its dialect!
