I checked it; it was the first hit google gave. It was good, nothing special. There should have been more examples. Having said that that is why I prefer sites such as speech accent archive or the international dialects of English archive (IDEA).

Edit: I tried giving links but I couldn't Embarrassed I'm unaccustomed to the way linking is done in the upgraded EF.

for me the phonetic transcription of my countrymen's speech - which indeed is very charactheristic and spot on .. really emphasises what I need to work on.
