Please make a file and help with this global education project. Contact accentbase@gmail.com for details.
The idea is to map the accents of the English speaking world. Just read out the script below on a video or sound file in a strong natural accent. The files will be used to create a database, educational tool for visitors, and who knows, in the future all those voice activated apps and products might actually understand you when you talk to them. Please help, you’ll be promoting business in your region and be part of creating a use for the web that has never been realised before. #EnglishTeacher #EnglishPronunciation #Speakenglish
