Yep, I'm also deaf (since age 6), went through a lot of speech therapy, and have a very pronounced deaf accent. I live in the midwestern US (specifically, Ohio) and at least once a year I get asked where I'm from - England being the most common guess, but I've also had folks ask if I'm Scottish or Australian.

AI struggles massively with my accent. I've gotten the best results out of Whisper Large v2 and even that is only perhaps 60% accurate. It's been on my todo list to experiment with using LLMs to try to clean it up further - mostly so I can do things like dictate blog post outlines to my phone on long car rides - but I haven't had as much time as I'd like to mess around with it.
