Lyric Pilot is a smart lyrics app made for singing. Paste any lyrics, prop up your phone, and sing — it listens, recognizes the line you're singing, highlights it, and scrolls the next lines up on time. Like having a friend who knows the song scroll for you. No fixed-speed scrolling that drifts out of sync. No tapping the screen mid-song. Lyric Pilot follows you, not a timer — it pauses when you pause, keeps up when you come back in, and re-finds its place if you skip around. BUILT FOR SINGING Most voice-scrolling apps expect a steady reading voice. Singing is different — held notes, repeated choruses, a breath between verses. Lyric Pilot's follower is made for how songs actually flow: • Sing a line and it lights up — your hands stay free. • Hold a note or take a breath — it waits with you. • Jump ahead to the chorus or back a verse — it finds you again. • Any song, any arrangement — the lyrics are whatever you paste. SET THE VIBE • The prompter glows in the color you choose — dial the vibe to match the song or the mood. • Dark, high-contrast display that's easy to read at a glance — even from across the room. • Adjustable text size — comfortable from the couch, the desk, or wherever the phone is propped. • Portrait or landscape, phone or tablet. The screen stays awake for the whole song. YOUR SONGS, YOUR WAY • Add a song and paste its lyrics — that's the whole setup. • Prefer manual control? Switch to manual mode and scroll by hand on a clean, distraction-free display. • Your song library, organized and searchable, with import/export to move songs between devices. FREE TO USE — NEVER A SUBSCRIPTION Everything that matters is free: the listening prompter, manual mode, color vibes, and room for 10 songs. Need more? One small one-time unlock makes your library unlimited — yours for life. No subscription. No ads. No account. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your device. Speech recognition runs locally, your lyrics never leave your phone, and the app collects no data — it doesn't even connect to the internet. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Also great for speeches, presentations, and any script you deliver out loud. English-language recognition in this version.
