Google need Bristolians

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Google are searching for Bristolian volunteers, in order to better understand the tone of the accent. Call the Midwife actor and Bristolian, Jack Ashton said about his accent: ‘we barely open our mouths when we talk’. Google are asking people, who are native to Bristol, to read out and record short phrases, in order to familiarise Google and Android voice command software with the city’s accent. This clip was taken from 5 live Drive on 2nd August 2016.
