The document describes an iPhone application called "Accent Switch" that allows users to switch their accents in speech. The application aims to help international students, immigrants, and others speak English with different accents like American, British, Thai, and others. It works by having users record a speech sample in their native accent, then analyzes and plays back the recording with the selected target accent. The benefits are said to include improved understanding, relationships, learning, and confidence. It is positioned as being more accurate and quicker than alternatives like translators or dictionaries. Future plans include real-time accent switching and adding more language accents.
