So the idea is to add more errors, so the other errors don't seem so lonely? That makes the system more usable?

- adam-a 13y agoThis reminds me of dithering in computer graphics. Take an imperfect system and add noise to mask the imperfections.
- unwind 13y agoExcept, perhaps a little, that dithering is not "noise", i.e. it's not random but instead carefully chosen to appear (to the eye of the beholder) as data that isn't really there.
- lookACamel 13y agoWell the "noise" from the non-US accent isn't random either.
- TheCoelacanth 13y agoIt's not adding more errors; it's just choosing a less familiar accent to imitate so that you are less capable of noticing how the imitation deviates from the correct way of speaking in that accent.
