8. there is no way your transcription software can pick up this accent

How does your platform handle different accents? This is one of the questions we get the most.

Well, have a look at this.

You may have seen the viral clip of the Tory MP from New Zealand unable to understand the SNP MP from Glasgow a couple months back (clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jHfY0dDZxA&ab_channel=GlobalNews )

As you can see in our Transcript below, we're able to deal with both a strong Glasgow and Kiwi accent pretty well!

SNP MP: Can I ask the Honourable Gentleman what work is being done to make sure that this place is more accessible, particularly for some of our colleagues who have a disability?

Tory MP: I'm sorry, it must be something to do with my Antipodean background. Could he please repeat the question because I didn't follow it.

SNP MP: Well, very popular today. I'm saying that a number of parliamentary colleagues who have disabilities do find it quite difficult getting around certain parts of the state. Given that we're doing this refurbishment work, what can be done to make sure that those with a disability are able to move around more freely and the place is accessible?

Tory MP: I'm really sorry. Please could you do it very slowly and then timidly in English. Thank you.
