Question 1

Is WitAccent free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The accent check is free, runs in your browser, and doesn't need an account. There's a fair-use daily limit per network.

Question 2

How does WitAccent guess my native language?

Accepted Answer

It analyzes how you pronounce English sounds in the passage — the small, systematic traces a first language leaves — and matches them against the accent patterns it has learned. It currently distinguishes around ten language groups.

Question 3

What happens to my recording?

Accepted Answer

It's stored anonymously — no name, email, or account attached — and used to make WitAccent's accent model better. Recordings are never sold and never used for advertising.

Question 4

Why did it say it couldn't tell?

Accepted Answer

WitAccent only answers when it's confident. Mixed or subtle accents often don't match one clear pattern — so it says so honestly instead of guessing.

Question 5

Can I make the guess harder next time?

Accepted Answer

That's the game. The WitSpeak app shows exactly which sounds reveal your accent and trains them with daily practice — plenty of learners aim to make WitAccent shrug.
