Overview

This web app uses Gradio and Hugging Face Transformers to classify English accents from audio samples.

Upload or record English speech, and the app predicts the speaker’s accent from:

American

British

Indian

African

Australian

Results are displayed in a clear, color-coded table showing confidence percentages, highlighting the top predicted accent.

Demo Try the live app on Hugging Face Spaces:

(Replace the URL above with your actual Space URL after deployment.)

Installation Clone the repo and install dependencies:

Optional: create and activate virtual environment

python -m venv venv

On Linux/macOS:

source venv/bin/activate

venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -r requirements.txt If requirements.txt is not included, install manually:

bash pip install gradio transformers torch Running Locally Start the app:

bash python app.py Open the local URL printed (usually http://127.0.0.1:7860) in your browser.

Deploying on Hugging Face Spaces Create a new Space on Hugging Face using the Gradio SDK.

Upload your app.py and requirements.txt.

Ensure your app.py ends with:

#python gr.Interface(...).launch() (Do NOT use share=True on Spaces.)

Commit and wait for the build; your app will be publicly available.

How It Works Uses the Hugging Face pipeline:

#python

pipeline("audio-classification", model="dima806/english_accents_classification") Takes an audio input, predicts accents with confidence scores.

Displays top 3 accents in a styled table with the top accent highlighted.

Error Handling Handles invalid audio files gracefully with user-friendly error messages.

Supports common audio formats like .wav and .mp3.

Customization Change the model in app.py by editing:

python Copy Edit pipe = pipeline("audio-classification", model="your_model_name") Customize UI elements and theme in the Gradio interface.
