Live Lyric identifies the song playing around you and shows its lyrics in real time, synced to the music. Tap Listen. Live Lyric hears the song through your microphone, matches it with Shazam, and fetches time-synced lyrics from the web. As the song plays, the active line is highlighted and scrolls into view. Rotate your phone to landscape and the lyrics switch to a bold, hero-size view - perfect for sing-alongs or reading across the room. Works with any audio source: speakers, car stereo, radio, a friend's phone. If the song is in Shazam's catalog, Live Lyric will find it. Lyrics are cached locally for 30 days, so revisiting a song is instant.
