-# 🎤 Accent Detection Tool
+# 🎤 English Accent Detection Tool
 
-This app accepts a public video URL, extracts the audio, detects the English-speaking accent or language, and provides a confidence score.
+This app analyzes a speaker's English accent from video URLs or audio uploads, providing detailed insights for hiring evaluation purposes.
+
+## Features
+- **Video URL Processing**: Accept and analyze videos from Loom, YouTube, or direct MP4 links
+- **Audio Upload Support**: Directly upload audio files for analysis
+- **English Accent Classification**: Identify specific English accents (American, British, Australian, etc.)
+- **Confidence Scoring**: Get detailed confidence scores for English proficiency
+- **Detailed Analysis**: Receive expert-like explanations about accent characteristics
+- **Visual Feedback**: View audio waveforms and listen to the processed audio
 
 ## Usage
-- Enter a Loom or MP4 link.
-- Click "Analyze"
-- Get accent classification and score.
+1. **Via Video URL**:
+   - Enter a public video URL (Loom, YouTube, direct MP4, etc.)
+   - Click "Analyze Video"
+   - View the accent classification, confidence scores, and analysis
+
+2. **Via Audio Upload**:
+   - Upload an audio file (WAV, MP3, M4A, OGG)
+   - Click "Analyze Audio"
+   - View the results
+
+## Technology Stack
+- **Audio Processing**: FFmpeg, Librosa
+- **ML Models**: SpeechBrain, Transformers
+- **UI**: Streamlit
+- **Deployment**: Docker
+
+## Requirements
+- Python 3.9+
+- FFmpeg
+- See requirements.txt for Python dependencies
+
+## Deployment
+The app is containerized with Docker for easy deployment. Use the included Dockerfile to build and run:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t accent-detector .
+docker run -p 8501:8501 accent-detector
+```

+    This app uses a multi-stage process to analyze a speaker's accent:
+    
+    1. **Audio Extraction**: The audio track is extracted from the input video or directly processed from uploaded audio.
+    
+    2. **Language Identification**: First, we determine if the speech is English using SpeechBrain's language identification model.
+    
+    3. **Accent Classification**: For English speech, we analyze the specific accent using a transformer-based model trained on diverse accent data.
+    
+    4. **English Proficiency Score**: A confidence score is calculated based on both language identification and accent clarity.
+    
+    5. **Analysis Summary**: An explanation is generated describing accent characteristics relevant for hiring evaluations.
