Turn any song into written lyrics.
Upload an audio file or paste a link. An AI speech recognition model writes down what’s sung, in 36 languages.
How it works
1
Upload or paste
An audio file up to 50 MB (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG, AIFF, or WMA), or a Spotify or YouTube link.
2
The voice is separated
The voice is separated from the instruments before anything is written down.
3
A model picked for the language
It detects the sung language. English, Japanese and Mandarin then go to a speech recognition model that made fewer mistakes on songs in our tests.
What you get
Your own recordings
LyricAI listens to the recording itself, so it works on songs no lyrics site has: live takes, covers, TV versions, demos, your own recordings.
Every word and line timed
With Lyric timing on, the default, each word and line is matched to the moment it’s sung. Charged by the minute, even when lyrics are published.
Translated into 37 languages
Each line is translated with the whole song in mind and set under the original.
Private by default
Audio from links is deleted from our servers after processing. Uploaded files are deleted once transcribed. Lyric sheets are deleted from our servers after 24 hours.
Questions

How accurate is it?
Clear vocals in a well-mixed recording come out best. Heavy effects, buried or overlapping vocals and very fast passages are still hard, so check names and fast lines against the song. If the language is detected wrong, set it in Original language, beside the song.
What can I paste or upload?
Spotify song and album links, YouTube videos (Shorts and YouTube Music too), and audio files up to 50 MB (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC and more). Up to 50 songs at once, each up to 30 minutes. Not Spotify playlists or artist pages: Spotify shares a playlist’s songs only with its owner. For a video file, export the audio first.
What does it cost?
1 credit is 1 minute of audio, rounded up per song: $0.050-0.080 a minute, depending on the bundle. Translating a song is 1 credit more. You see the price before you start, and a song that fails gives its credits back on its own. Your first song is free, up to 10 minutes. See Pricing.
What happens to my audio and lyrics?
Audio from links is deleted after processing. Uploaded files are deleted once transcribed (files added but never sent, within 2 days). Our processing provider keeps an encrypted copy of the audio for up to 7 days, then deletes it. Lyric sheets are deleted from our servers after 24 hours; your browser keeps a copy unless you turn that off under This device on your Account page. Your list of past songs is kept for 90 days, or until you delete a song from its page. The Privacy Policy has the details.
