User reviews

Doesn't work

No sound files were in this install. Completely useless.

Doesn’t work

Nothing loads. Doesn’t work no matter what I try.

Rubbish

This is terrible. I am not Welsh. This is utter nonsense.

Missing audio files

Great idea but appears the app has been forgotten about. None of the audio files will load

Audio links aren’t working

Clearly and old app that hasn’t been updated in a while. The audio links aren’t working now.

Please either update, or remove from the store rather than provide a broken app.

FAQ

What does the English Dialects app do?

This app helps you explore the diversity of English dialects. By answering questions about your pronunciation of specific words, it can localize your broader dialect region on a map of England. It also allows you to record your dialect, listen to others, and explore historical dialect data.

How does the app determine my dialect region?

The app uses your pronunciation of 26 specific words to localize your dialect region on a map of England. This algorithm is based on historical data from the Survey of English Dialects.

Can I record my own dialect with this app?

Yes, the app allows you to record your dialect. You can then listen to your own recordings, as well as recordings from other users and historical dialect recordings.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, the app is free to download and use. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements mentioned.

What if the app doesn't guess my region correctly?

If the app's guess of your region is far off, it might indicate that your home dialect has changed over the past decades. The algorithm is based on historical data, and dialect change can affect the accuracy of localization for contemporary speakers.
