Cadence

An AI-text humanizer — write in a voice you choose, with less AI tone, in any AI agent or straight from the command line.

📐 Verified by Cadence — this README's own prose scores grade A on the detector. The slop quoted in the examples below is there on purpose.

You can usually tell when a machine wrote something. Not from any single word — from the texture. The sentences come out the same length. Every paragraph opens with a transition. The point gets hedged, then the hedge gets hedged. There are three examples where one would have landed harder. You may not be able to underline the broken part, but you feel it, and the moment you feel it you start to skim.

Cadence exists to strip that signature out. (It's an AI-text humanizer, if you want the search term — but one that shows its work.)

What it's for

Two things. It scores prose for how machine-made it reads, and it recasts prose so it reads like a person wrote it. The score is your baseline and your to-do list. The recast is the fix.

The one rule it never breaks: Cadence works on the words, not the meaning or the layout. It changes how a sentence reads. It does not touch what the sentence claims, or how the document is built. A smoother line that quietly drops a fact is a failure, not a win.

Why rhythm, not grammar

Slop isn't a grammar problem. AI prose is often spotless and still obviously synthetic, because the tell is rhythmic. Real writing breathes — a long, winding clause that earns its commas, then a stop. Machine writing flatlines at one comfortable length, sentence after sentence after sentence.

So the number Cadence watches hardest is rhythm variance (CV). Even, same-length sentences are the loudest fingerprint there is. If a rewrite doesn't move the variance, it didn't rewrite anything; it swapped synonyms and called it done.

Why bother

Flat prose costs you the reader. People trust writing that sounds like a person meant it. The moment a page reads as generated, your argument inherits the doubt — even a good argument, even a true one.

A clean score is not the goal, though. Clarity is. A spotless score on an empty point is still an empty point. Find the real thing you have to say, say it in a voice, and let the low score fall out as a side effect.
