Probably doesn't work at all if you have a dialect.
This is definitely cool, and I don't wanna seem ungrateful, but I really wish there was screensharing across platforms.
I'd like to see how bad it fucks up. "Hello, how are you today?" "Who he marked corrected him, that the marks that I am for the document, that in the present of the project the execution of the execution in the days is not justified, that improves, the pilework? Pilework to facilitate the project in the future, and I can't tell you that, if you want to continue working with them, isn't it?"

If not I commend you. Also can anyone imagine this trying to "decode" a Scottish highlander's accent? Good luck with that...
