Your music. More than playback. Otoha is a player for the audio you own: local music, listening audio from class, and the songs you made with AI. Synced subtitles follow every line β€” and when a line loses you, tap it and ask AI. The music keeps playing. WHY OTOHA β€’ Audio opened inside a chat app stops when the screen locks β€” and files expire after a few days. Saved in Otoha, it plays with the screen off and never expires. β€’ Songs in streaming playlists gray out. Files you own don't get delisted. β€’ AI songs download as random IDs with no synced lyrics. Here they become finished works with artwork and a timeline. YOUR LIBRARY β€’ Import from iCloud and Files, or subscribe to podcasts by RSS β€’ Plays MP3, M4A, AAC, WAV, ALAC, FLAC, AIFF audio and MP4, M4V, MOV video β€” no converting, no iTunes β€’ Imports access files in place, so your storage isn't doubled. Removing a playlist never deletes originals SUBTITLES & LYRICS β€’ Embedded lyrics, LRC/SRT import, online lyrics, or automatic transcription into timed captions β€’ Correct any line by hand β€” once, permanently β€’ The current line shows on the lock screen ASK AI ABOUT ANY LINE β€’ Meaning, grammar, vocabulary, and the culture behind a lyric β€” with follow-up questions β€’ On-device explanations are free on supported devices; Cloud AI unlocks deeper follow-ups (optional subscription) PRACTICE TOOLS β€’ 0.5x–3.0x speed without pitch shift β€’ Sentence loops and A-B loops β€’ Listening stats that count only real playback time AI DJ & STAGE β€’ Tell AI DJ your mood, an artist, or a musical style; it builds and starts a playlist from your library and, when enabled, Apple Music β€’ Stage turns lyrics into a live visual show SHARING β€’ Send music files via the share sheet or AirDrop (only files you have the right to distribute) β€’ Turn a favorite line into a lyric card for social apps FREE & OPTIONAL UPGRADES Download and basic playback are free, with no ads. On-device AI explanations are free on supported devices (iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence-capable models, iPhone 15 Pro or later). Cloud AI and some advanced features are optional purchases. You bring the audio. Otoha helps you understand it. Terms of Use: https://otoha.co/en/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://otoha.co/en/privacy/

About

LyricTap

Read full description

Make your lyrics match the music. LyricTap is a lyric syncing and subtitle tool for musicians, cover creators, and anyone working with their own music and lyrics. Import a song, add your lyrics, fine-tune the timing yourself, or use AI to sync an entire track. Export subtitles, create manual karaoke timing, separate vocals and instrumentals, and turn synced lyrics into videos β€” all from iPhone or iPad. SYNC AND EDIT LYRICS Import music from your device, paste lyrics, or open an existing lyric file. Play the song while adjusting the start time of each line, then preview the result directly in the player. Manual lyric editing does not require an account or AI credits. EXPORT MULTIPLE LYRIC FORMATS Export your lyrics in the format you need: β€’ LRC β€” standard synced lyrics β€’ SRT β€” line-based subtitles β€’ TXT β€” plain lyric text β€’ ASS β€” manually timed karaoke subtitles β€’ Enhanced LRC β€” lyrics with word or group timing Use the exported files with compatible music players, subtitle tools, or video editors. CREATE KARAOKE TIMING BY HAND Need more precise timing? Play the song and tap along to set the start time of individual words or lyric groups. Adjust the timing and line endings as needed, then export the result as ASS or Enhanced LRC. Word- and group-level karaoke timing is created manually. AI does not generate word-by-word karaoke timing. The LyricTap player and exported lyric videos display one lyric line at a time. Word-by-word karaoke effects are intended for compatible external software using ASS or Enhanced LRC. AI AUTO-SYNC Don't want to time an entire song manually? AI Auto-Sync analyzes your music and lyrics and generates timing for each lyric line. A completed AI sync also creates: β€’ Vocals β€’ Instrumental One AI credit is used only when a full sync completes successfully. Failed tasks do not consume a credit. After processing, you can save the synced lyrics, vocals, and instrumental. Saving those results again or creating a lyric video from the same completed song does not use another AI credit. AI results may contain timing or recognition errors. Play back the result and make manual adjustments when needed. CREATE LYRIC VIDEOS After a song completes full AI Auto-Sync, you can turn it into a lyric video. Choose your own background image, then select: β€’ 3 lyric styles β€’ 9:16 vertical video β€’ 16:9 horizontal video Preview the result, export it as MP4, save it to Photos, or share it through the system share sheet. Lyric videos display one lyric line at a time and do not use word-by-word karaoke highlighting. YOUR MUSIC, YOUR CONTROL Manual lyric editing and video creation are performed on your device. Audio, lyrics, and language information required for AI processing are uploaded only after you choose to start an AI task and consent to the upload. LyricTap does not provide music downloads. Please use only music and lyrics that you own or have permission to use.
