Their Scottish accent example is pretty good, I'd like to see it work on some very strong English accents like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ7QB3om-QY



Those are Irish.


Are you sure? I just ran some of Kimmy's sketches through it and ... The results are garbage.


Detected language: english

[00:00.000 --> 00:05.400] Gordy and County Kerry are investigating the theft of up to 60 sheep on Mount Brandon.

[00:05.400 --> 00:10.400] One of the farmers is offering a reward for information leading to the return of the use,

[00:10.400 --> 00:12.200] which are worth thousands of euro.

[00:12.200 --> 00:14.200] Well, I'm fine with that.

[00:14.200 --> 00:15.200] That's right.

[00:15.200 --> 00:16.200] Do you own them?

[00:16.200 --> 00:17.200] Anyone can say it.

[00:17.200 --> 00:18.200] Fine with that.

[00:18.200 --> 00:22.720] Last Saturday, Mikey Joe O'Shea brought his flock of Scotch sheep down from the mountain

[00:22.720 --> 00:25.320] commonage ahead of lambing.

[00:25.320 --> 00:29.840] He discovered over 50 were missing, allowing for a number of deaths and

[00:29.840 --> 00:30.840] strays.

[00:30.840 --> 00:34.600] Mikey is convinced over 45 sheep have been stolen.

[00:34.600 --> 00:35.600] It was a good night.

[00:35.600 --> 00:36.600] It would be a full moon there.

[00:36.600 --> 00:37.600] It would be a good night.

[00:37.600 --> 00:38.600] It would be bright out.

[00:38.600 --> 00:40.600] There could be anyone going up in the mountains.

[00:40.600 --> 00:41.600] It would be a good night.

[00:41.600 --> 00:43.600] Well, that was 45 sheep missing.

[00:43.600 --> 00:49.600] Mikey and the lambs and everything in the sheep, they counted out a nice bit of money.

[00:49.600 --> 00:52.200] They've been doing the boat in Nassan.

[00:52.200 --> 00:53.200] It's a big one. [00:53.200 --> 00:54.200] It's a big one. [00:54.200 --> 00:55.200] It's a big one.

[00:55.200 --> 00:59.000] Mikey's next door neighbor says some of his sheep have also been stolen.

[00:59.000 --> 01:00.000] Come back. [01:00.000 --> 01:01.000] Come back. [01:01.000 --> 01:02.000] Come back.

[01:02.000 --> 01:03.000] I've been missing about 10 years.

[01:03.000 --> 01:04.000] It's not all that difficult.

[01:04.000 --> 01:06.320] All they've got to do is have a good dog.

[01:06.320 --> 01:10.560] Have a good dog and go at night, some moonshine night.

[01:10.560 --> 01:11.560] Just put the dog around him.

[01:11.560 --> 01:14.120] Put him on a trailer and walk him.

[01:14.120 --> 01:18.360] And then probably somebody else to pick him up.

[01:18.360 --> 01:29.960] Everybody's doing it north, but he's doing it.


Wow that is incredibly impressive. At 0:53 is it translating as well? Didn't sound like English to me.


Wow!
