We need more of this and less of "Learn how to speak in an American accent in 2 months!"

As an Indian immigrant, immigrants speaking with a fake accent is the most depressing (and annoying) things I've seen. We have one of the largest English-speaking populations in the world.

(Fake Accent != People's accents changing over time, which has happened to me, or rolling their Rs sometimes for others to understand)

Honest question: why? The onus of work is still on someone.

Given that English is my second language, I think the onus is on me to learn the proper pronunciation and enunciation of words. I would not expect someone to learn to decipher my accent, and I'm not sure why this would preferred over the alternative to begin with.

Thanks for the review.

I agree. I think familiarity with the Indian accent will soon be seen as a major skill set. A skill set that people should maybe work on.

Wow this is fantastic! I hope you consider expanding to other accents.

Thanks for the review.

To be honest, I would not know where to start. Indian accents are both ubiquitous and somewhat hard to understand.

If you have a list of accents you have trouble with, please let me know.

Can....these be submitted to Mozilla voice model? That would make it so much better instantly
