The article presents a comparison of phonetic accommodation to natural and synthetic voices when shadowing short sentences. The study investigates a diverse set of features pertaining to different phonetic domains. Natural and synthetic voices triggered accommodating behavior for several features. Predominant pattern: convergence during the interaction followed by divergence after the interaction. Individual participants converged to varying subsets of the examined features.
