My original statement was wanting a translator device, hardware or software, so I could understand and learn better.
There was not desire for identity erasure or homogenization, leave whoever's voice the way it is online, give me an option to translate it. I added more about my issue downthread.
Diverse accents across the country. - absolutely! which is why I said 'no accent am-english.' (for me, as I can't learn well outside that) - and assuming if this tech exists it could help me, and perhaps be tweaked to change to other accents for other people.. also mentioned in downthread reply.
- emmelaich 3y agoWhen I see the phrase "heavily-accented English" I think of Scottish and Geordie speakers. Extremely few of the Indian/Nepalese/Bengali/Pakistani speakers I have known have such a strong accent that it makes it difficult to understand. At least the younger ones.
