Is there a quiz somewhere where I can learn what accent I have? (Of course it would be epic to do this with EnCodec embeddings, but a “does X rhyme with Y” quiz would suffice.)
- munk-a 3y agoThere's a good (but old one) available from the NYTimes[1] - a lot of it actually centers on which words you use for certain things (i.e. roundabout vs. rotary[2]) and rhyming like if you pronounce aunt and aunt as onht or ahnt or pronounce each one differently. 1. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/dialect-quiz-map.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/dialect-quiz... 2. Guess where I'm from!

- Varriount 3y agoThat quiz was surprisingly accurate - the three cities it listed for me are less than an hour away from where I live.

- irrational 3y ago> In order to process your responses, we need to know where you acquired your dialect features. This usually means that you should answer the questions below based on where you were raised I honestly have no idea what to say. Between birth and 21, I never lived anywhere more than 2 years and I lived all over - Texas, California (3 separate parts), Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, North and South Florida, Indiana, Montana, Puerto Rico. Is there a particular age I should shoot for and put where I lived when I was that age?
