Abstract
Systems and processes for automatic accent detection are provided. In accordance with one example, a method includes, at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory, receiving a user input, determining a first similarity between a representation of the user input and a first acoustic model of a plurality of acoustic models, and determining a second similarity between the representation of the user input and a second acoustic model of the plurality of acoustic models. The method further includes determining whether the first similarity is greater than the second similarity. In accordance with a determination that the first similarity is greater than the second similarity, the first acoustic model may be selected; and in accordance with a determination that the first similarity is not greater than the second similarity, the second acoustic model may be selected.
