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 — 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: • LRC — standard synced lyrics • SRT — line-based subtitles • TXT — plain lyric text • ASS — manually timed karaoke subtitles • Enhanced LRC — 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: • Vocals • 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: • 3 lyric styles • 9:16 vertical video • 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.
