What is Cadence?

Cadence is a Chrome extension that records your screen and changes how your voice sounds in the same workflow. Its main feature is AI Accent Swap, which converts a speaker's accent into a cleaner, more global one, such as Neutral American or British RP, while keeping the original words, pacing and pauses. It is aimed at people who record demos, tutorials and walkthroughs.

Beyond accent changes, Cadence covers much of a typical screencast job. It includes an in-browser editor with trim, cut, mute and crop tools, word-by-word captions, custom audio uploads, on-screen drawing, live blur for private data and AI avatar generation. The company describes it as built for asynchronous communication, so it does not process audio in real time during live calls.

How does Cadence work?

The workflow has three steps. First, you record a tab, a window or your whole screen through the Chrome extension, with optional camera and microphone. Second, you pick an accent and Cadence rebuilds your audio from the recording. Third, you export the video or send a shareable link. After recording, an edit page opens where the AI audio cleaner removes noise.

Cadence says your original audio is kept, and you can toggle between the raw and AI-enhanced versions to compare them. The AI features also appear inside the extension: AI Accent Change, AI Voice Dubbing and AI Avatar Generation. Because processing happens after you record, it adds a step compared with a plain recorder, but the company says this keeps audio quality high without real-time lag.

Key features of Cadence

Recording tools include capture of the full screen, a single tab or a custom area, plus drawing tools (pen, arrows, shapes and text), cursor highlights and live blur that stays locked to the area as a page scrolls. The editor adds trimming, cutting, muting and cropping, and captions that highlight each word as it is spoken, with adjustable font, color and size.

On the AI side, Cadence offers accent swap with Neutral American, British RP, Australian and a Transatlantic tone, translation of screencasts into 25+ languages on Pro, voice dubbing, and lip-synced avatars placed in the corner of a recording. Users can also upload an MP3, WAV or M4A file, set its volume, and either layer it over the recording or replace the original audio.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Combines screen recording, accent swap, captions and editing in one Chrome extension, so no separate audio tool is needed.
  • Accent swap keeps the speaker's words, pacing and pauses, and users can toggle between original and AI audio.
  • Live blur hides names, emails and API keys during recording, with no editing afterward.
  • Free 7-day trial with unlimited recording and no account needed to start on the free plan.
  • Pro adds translation into 25+ languages, AI avatars, 100GB cloud storage and sessions up to 1 hour.
  • Clear pricing at $19 per month, with a lower annual rate of $16.58 per month.

Cons

  • The free trial includes only 60 seconds of AI Accent Change, which limits real testing of the main feature.
  • Pro AI functions are capped at a 30-minute monthly bank; heavier use requires contacting the team for a custom plan.
  • Built for recorded video only, so it cannot change your voice live on calls.
  • Chrome-based; the web version for Pro is listed as coming soon, and accent options are a curated set.
