Read the Naijá introduction
Set up Naijá rhyme suggestions
- Open the app’s language picker and download Naijá while connected. English is built in; this is one of 20 downloadable packs.
- In the language settings, enable the languages you want and adjust their suggestion order. Put the language you are actively writing first; keep another enabled for a bilingual passage.
- Write a short line and open the rhyme inspector on a word. Try the suggestion in the line, record it and compare the sound in context.
A rhyme pack is not a translation of every app screen. It also does not promise accurate transcription for every accent, complete vocabulary coverage or a language-specific poetic meter counter.
A Nigerian Pidgin listening check
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.
Try a short writing session
Write a Nigerian Pidgin verse about a scene you know, using the wording and spelling you normally perform. Record it as speech, then over the loop. Compare both takes before changing the final phrase. Aim for a clear image and delivery rather than making the draft look like formal English.
Writing across languages
For a Pidgin–English or Pidgin–Yorùbá chorus, choose the language transition before looking for rhyme ideas. Keep the three language options distinct and test the whole phrase in one recording. A shared English-derived word need not have the same pronunciation or lyrical effect in Pidgin.
Write to a type beat, then build the sections
Import a licensed instrumental or a beat you made yourself. “Type beat” describes a style; it does not give you permission to release someone else’s recording. Set an A–B loop around a useful passage and write beside the player. A short loop lets you hear where the stressed words land.
Record a rough voice memo before polishing every word. Move between spoken and sung versions, compare pauses and keep the take with the strongest delivery. The app provides writing and recording tools; you author the song.
When the idea is ready, use Draft sections and arrangement to develop the order, then follow the export guide for sharing audio or moving work to your DAW. The detailed manual and its current control labels are in English.
App pack, browser tool and free plan
Start with three free notes. The complete Draft-to-DAW workflow, including arrangement and export, requires Pro. Read your store listing for current plans and availability.
The Nigerian Pidgin pack works in the app; this page does not provide a Nigerian Pidgin web dictionary. The separate English, French and Spanish browser tools have their own data and limits.
Export important recordings before changing devices. Account sync is not a backup of every vocal take. Learn the current feature locations and controls before relying on a release workflow.
Before your next session
Can I write Nigerian Pidgin songs on Android?
Yes. Cadence is available for Android, iPhone and iPad. Download the Naijá pack for rhyme suggestions, write your own lyrics and record ideas against imported audio you have permission to use. Check the store for device compatibility.
Is the language pack a translation of the whole app?
No. A rhyme pack is not a translation of every app screen, a guarantee of transcription accuracy or a complete analysis of poetic meter. Listen to suggestions in your own pronunciation.
Is there a free Nigerian Pidgin browser rhyme dictionary here?
This site does not currently offer a Nigerian Pidgin browser rhyme dictionary. The downloadable app pack is a different product from the site's English, French and Spanish web tools.
