Cadence

When you think of what a voice programmed by artificial intelligence would sound like, you might picture something robotic and stilted, with a staccato cadence incapable of capturing the inflections, speed and emotion required to sound even somewhat human. But this is 2024, and the robots have gotten a serious upgrade.

A young IT programmer from Visoko, a town 20 km north of Sarajevo, has developed an innovative digital assistant that is winning growing popularity at home, and which he hopes to sell to the giants in the social media world.

Cadence is a software that interacts with its owner, explains its 20-year-old creator, Haris Ascalic.
