Having English as a second language I am always reluctant to make a screencast. My spoken English would be distracting, if not for the brokenness then at least for my lack of confidence when speaking it.
Most people are uncomfortable with their voices. My boss, who has a great deep speaking voice and is a very confident extrovert has been recording the same 3 minute screencast over and over this week (I assume it is because the sound of hearing his own voice has made him very self conscious).
Record a screencast even if you have an accent. Silent screencasts with just clicking (or even worse - music) seem pointless.
the main point of our app is to give something to users that is easy to follow. Screencasts are difficult to follow as in you have to play/pause/play pause.

This looks like a great alternative! Thanks :)
