Free accent checker

Record a short English phrase and get a quick clarity score. Use the result to find which words need pronunciation, rhythm, or stress practice.

Read this passage aloud:

“My name is Anna and I live in a small town near the sea. Every morning I walk to work with my dog. The streets are quiet and the air is fresh. On weekends we visit my parents and cook dinner together. After dinner we sit in the garden and talk about our plans for the next week.”

What to do after your accent score

Accent work is not about sounding like someone else. It is about making your English easier to understand in real conversations. Start with one phrase, then practise the sounds and word stress that affected your score.

  • Check a short spoken phrase in under a minute
  • See overall clarity plus accuracy, fluency, and completeness
  • Find words that need more pronunciation work
  • Upgrade when you want a targeted accent improvement plan

Keep improving your spoken clarity

For word-level feedback, try the pronunciation checker. For a broader estimate, take the English speaking test. Then practise out loud in English speaking practice.

Use it as a free accent test

Wondering what accent you have? Read the passage above at your normal pace. The accent test listens for the sounds and rhythm that give an accent away, shows the accent you sound closest to on a map, and scores how clearly you speak. Reading the passage takes about 20 seconds and you do not need an account.

Commonly asked questions

An accent checker estimates how clearly your pronunciation matches the target phrase. It looks at accuracy, fluency, completeness, and word-level pronunciation signals.

Yes. You can record a phrase and get a free clarity score without creating an account.

The public tool records only after you allow microphone access and sends the audio for scoring. It does not create a saved SpeakDuo practice recording.

The better goal is clear, confident speech. Accent reduction practice should focus on sounds, stress, rhythm, and words that make you harder to understand.

Read the passage aloud and the accent test shows the accent your English sounds closest to, on a map, with how sure it is. It compares your recording with 41 accents of English, from native varieties like American, British or Australian English to the accents of speakers whose first language is Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and many more.

When it is confident, it matches the speaker’s real background about seven times in ten on recordings it has never heard. Short or quiet recordings are harder to place, so if the first result is unsure it asks you to read a second passage before showing a result.
