Find your writing language

Set up rhyme suggestions, change their order and test your line over a beat. Brazilian and European Portuguese have separate packs. Detailed controls and pack-specific listening checks are in the English guides.

French

Français

French spelling can hide silent endings. Compare the spoken vowel and consonant sounds rather than selecting a rhyme from the written ending alone.

French setup & writing guide

Spanish

Español

Sing the phrase before settling its length: neighbouring vowels can join in performance. Test the stressed vowel and the rest of the ending in your own accent.

Spanish setup & writing guide

German

Deutsch

German compounds can change the length and stress of a line substantially. Try the complete compound in your take, then compare a shorter paraphrase without losing the meaning.

German setup & writing guide

Italian

Italiano

Hear the stressed vowel and the sounds after it. Sing adjacent vowels as you intend to perform them; a written syllable division alone cannot decide the phrasing.

Italian setup & writing guide

Russian

Русский

Keep the Cyrillic spelling in the draft. Russian stress can distinguish words and alter a rhyme; use a recorded phrase to check that the suggested word has the stress you intend.

Russian setup & writing guide

Arabic

العربية

Write in Arabic script and test the dialect you perform. A written ending does not establish an identical pronunciation across dialects; read mixed Arabic and Latin text back carefully.

Arabic setup & writing guide

Hindi

हिन्दी

Keep a Devanagari version of the line when testing the Hindi pack. Romanised Hindi has variable spellings; compare your pronunciation and do not assume transliterations give the same lookup.

Hindi setup & writing guide

Korean

한국어

Use Hangul for the lyric and listen to the phrase across word boundaries. Final consonants and connected pronunciation matter more than matching the last written character.

Korean setup & writing guide

Hebrew

עברית

Hebrew text without vowel marks can represent more than one pronunciation. Test the meaning and sound you intend, and check mixed right-to-left text with Latin section labels in the saved lyric.

Hebrew setup & writing guide

Japanese

日本語

Japanese mora timing and English syllable counts are different things. Hear the phrase over the loop, including long vowels and small pauses; do not treat a numeric counter as a complete meter analysis.

Japanese setup & writing guide

Turkish

Türkçe

Turkish suffixes can create similar-looking endings without adding a strong lyrical idea. Compare the full word and meaning; preserve dotted and dotless i when entering a lookup.

Turkish setup & writing guide

Indonesian

Bahasa Indonesia

Decide whether the line uses formal Indonesian or conversational forms. Keep the version you actually perform in the draft and compare the final phrase rather than replacing words just for an ending.

Indonesian setup & writing guide

Malay

Bahasa Melayu

Choose the Malay pack rather than assuming the Indonesian pack is interchangeable. Test the vocabulary and pronunciation of your own performance, especially when you switch between Malay and English.

Malay setup & writing guide

Polish

Polski

Preserve Polish diacritics in the lyric. Listen to consonant clusters in a complete take and check whether a grammatical ending produces a useful rhyme or only repeats the same construction.

Polish setup & writing guide

Filipino

Filipino

The app labels this pack Filipino. Keep Tagalog/Filipino and English passages intentional when writing Taglish; test stress in the whole phrase rather than expecting English pronunciation rules to fit both.

Filipino setup & writing guide

Vietnamese

Tiếng Việt

Keep Vietnamese tone marks and vowel diacritics in the draft. Melody and lexical tone interact in performance; check meaning and pronunciation by singing the actual line rather than relying on an ending alone.

Vietnamese setup & writing guide

Yoruba

Yorùbá

Preserve Yorùbá tone marks and underdots when you write. A sound match alone does not validate lexical tone or meaning in a melody; listen to the line and seek a fluent speaker’s judgment.

Yoruba setup & writing guide

Nigerian Pidgin

Naijá

Use the spelling you actually write and perform in Nigerian Pidgin. Code-switching with English or Yorùbá does not make the packs interchangeable; compare the line in each language and trust the recorded performance.

A songwriting app for Spanish lyrics

Cadence brings your Spanish lyric, instrumental and vocal takes into the same song on Android, iPhone and iPad. You write the words and perform them; the app helps you explore rhymes, loop the beat and keep the versions together.

  1. Set up Spanish rhyme suggestions. Download the Spanish pack while connected. In Languages and suggestion order, choose where Spanish sits alongside your other languages. The pack supports rhyme exploration; it does not mean every app screen is translated into Spanish.
  2. Write against the instrumental. Import audio you have permission to use and set an A–B loop around a short passage. Keep the lyric beside the player and leave room for breath.
  3. Check the line in your voice. Record a rough take and listen for the stressed words, pauses and meaning. Say suggestions in your own pronunciation before choosing one.
  4. Develop the song. Keep writing in the same project, then use sections and the Pro draft-to-DAW workflow when you are ready to build a demo. Start with three free notes; consult the store for Pro plans.

Prefer to read in Spanish? Cadence: app para escribir canciones y letras sobre beats explains the workflow. To try a lookup without installing the app, open the free Spanish rhyme dictionary. The browser dictionary uses independent public data and has its own pronunciation and coverage limits; it is not a preview of every app result.

App packs are separate from interface language

English is built in. Cadence’s app catalog includes 20 downloadable language packs, including French and Spanish. Download the packs you need while connected. The pronunciation-based rhyme engine runs on device. A rhyme pack does not mean every app screen is translated or every recording can be transcribed accurately.

Check a suggestion aloud in your own pronunciation. Language support does not remove accent, vocabulary or performance differences. Read the current store description and check the app’s language picker before relying on a specific pack.

Choose a free browser rhyme tool

Dictionnaire de rimes français · Diccionario de rimas en español. These independent public dictionaries are separate from app language packs; read each tool’s source and pronunciation limits.

The browser rhyme finder uses American English dictionary pronunciations and a limited original phrase bank. The web tool and app have separate engines. These translated pages do not add French or Spanish results to that browser tool.
