complete the following task with sour code, explanation and referencs if available.
Overview:
 
At REM Waste, we’re building intelligent tools to automate real hiring decisions. As part of your interview, we’d like you to complete a practical challenge that reflects the kind of work you’ll be doing here—solving real-world problems using AI tools.
 
Challenge Task:
 
Objective:
 
Build a working script or simple tool that can do the following:
 
1. Accept a public video URL (e.g., Loom or direct MP4 link).
 
2. Extract the audio from the video.
 
3. Analyze the speaker’s accent to detect English language speaking candidates. 
 
4. Output:
 
  - Classification of the accent (e.g., British, American, Australian, etc.)
 
  - A confidence in English accent score (e.g., 0-100%)
 
  - A short summary or explanation (optional) 
 
This tool will be used internally to help evaluate spoken English for hiring purposes.
 
What We're Looking For:
 
Top Priority:
 
- Practicality – Can you build something that actually works?
 
- Creativity – Did you come up with a smart or resourceful solution?
 
- Technical Execution – Is it clean, testable, and logically structured?
 
You’re free to use any tools or languages you’re comfortable with (Python, JavaScript, no-code tools, open-source APIs, etc.).

 
Deliverables:
 
- A working script, notebook, or small app (CLI, Streamlit, Flask—your choice)
 
- Deploy it somewhere with simple UI so it can be tested by clicking the link
 
- You can submit your work [72 hours from the receipt of this email] via this form: https://forms.gle/PTdcsAUGCKUi1BKP6.
 
 
 
Time Expectation:
 
This task is unpaid, so please don’t spend more than 4–6 hours. We’re looking for working proof-of-concept, not perfection. If you already have something similar, feel free to repurpose or expand it.
