Dear all,
some colleagues of mine were involved in the development of the US Dialect app (http://www.usdialectapp.com). Based on dialectology surveys, the app attempts to recognise your dialect by asking you some simple questions about your pronunciation and the vocabulary you use.
The app is not just for pure entertainment, it will actually help the dialectologists to understand the spread of different varieties of American English better. As more feedback (via the in-app functionality) arrives, you can expect the results to improve and become more precise. You can also leave your important feedback here (I will forward it), or send it per mail to feedback@usdialectapp.com
Also, these guys have invested substantial amount of their spare time and private savings to develop the app, so if you would like to support their research and see more apps from them in the future, you can buy the paid version of the app for 99 cents.
