This is really hit-or-miss. My initial test gave me a 93% British (rather accurate considering I'm from a former British colony), but subsequently the results varied a lot, including a few cases where it claimed my accent is 74% American.
The way I pronounce "ask", "plastic" and "Bob" should be dead giveaways that my accent is not American...

- emodendroket 9y agoThis may well not be the answer but some of the accents you'll hear around Boston do use the vowel from "father" to pronounce "ask."
