Summary/Abstract: Dialects, accents and regional languages can be considered as indicators of cultural affiliation and geographic origin. Due to these reasons, they are carriers of information about speakers, valuable not only from the linguistic point of view, since after proper implementation, this kind of information is potentially usable in other domains (e.g. in marketing). The article describes the basic terms in the field of dialectology and speech technology. The author elucidates the recognition strategies, as well as gives essential information about methods used in the prototype system for the automatic recognition of dialects, along with the analysis of results. In the final chapter, conclusions are made, and the potential directions of development and application for interdisciplinary research are outlined.
