Turn your revision notes into songs you’ll remember in the exam. Study Singalong turns your notes into full songs—with vocals, beats, and choruses that stick in your head. Photosynthesis as indie-pop. Oxbow lakes as trap. The Treaty of Versailles as musical theatre. Your call. How it works: -Type or paste your revision notes. -Pick a genre (drill, indie, musical theatre, and more). -Study Singalong writes the lyrics and generates a full song in about a minute. -Play it on repeat until exam day. What you get: • Original songs built around the facts you actually need to memorise. • Lyrics displayed as the song plays—karaoke-style for active recall. • Build a revision playlist for every subject. • Share songs with friends and revise together. • Any subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, History, Geography, English Literature, RS and more. • Also works for A Levels, US high school topics and SAT prep. Why singing helps you remember: Melody and rhyme make facts stickier than re-reading notes. That’s why you still know the alphabet song. Study Singalong helps you hear the answers in your head during the exam. Study Singalong Plus / Plus Pro: • More song generations every day. • Longer songs for bigger topics. • Plus Pro: lossless stem downloads (FLAC + WAV) for remixing. • Cancel any time from Settings or your phone’s subscription management.
