All good! Posting here to get the opinions and feedback from engineering peers. > I... told it in a higher then normal voice that I was a kid, and it said I was under 18... Good. If you're pretending to be a kid, you should be blocked. The launch is for sites that allow adults only (should have made that more clear in the post). Deep voiced teens are THE HARDEST. What I commented earlier about the amount of data available in a clip of audio, that's real - teens have unique signatures that only show in their cohort. Thanks for testing!

post puberty boys have absolutely have overlap with over 18 adults, if for no other reason then kids can go through puberty at different ages, so some 18 years olds have voices that are just dropping while others have had their voice drop for 6+ years. You aren't going to be able to find a set of signatures that keeps out a useful number of <18s that doesn't also flag >18s

  You are correct with inferring it's a scale, completely. Politely disagree with "You aren't going to be able to find a set of signatures that keeps out a useful number..." That's AGEWARDEN's job and the last year of my life has been diving deep into audio data to find those exact signals. Good call out and thank you for the pushback :)

    What do you consider the appropriate false negative/fall positive rate for voices of people aged 16-20? Since you don't give a confidence rating to the determination it's on the service to figure out what it's comfortable with.
