Already creating vocals from MIDI?
After you generate a vocal from MIDI and lyrics, use Lyrics Sync to match the finished vocal back to the words. You can then preview the performance with synchronized lyrics or bring the timing into Studio.

WHAT HELPS IT WORK BEST
What helps Lyrics Sync work best?
The closer the pasted lyrics match the actual performance, the easier it is to build useful timing.
Use the exact lyrics
Include the words that are actually sung, including repeated lines where possible.
Clear vocals help
A clean vocal recording is easier to align than audio where vocals are buried under loud instruments or effects.
Review unusual singing
Long held notes, ad-libs, overlapping vocals, or heavily stylized singing can sometimes need manual review.
Check before publishing
Always preview the result before using synchronized lyrics in a final video, player, or release.
FAQ
A simpler way to time lyrics
What is AI Lyrics Sync?
AI Lyrics Sync matches written lyrics to an existing audio recording and creates timestamps showing when each word or line is heard. Instead of manually listening and marking every lyric, you can generate a synchronized starting point automatically.
What do I need to use Lyrics Sync?
You need two things: an audio file and the lyrics that match the performance. Upload the song or vocal recording, paste the lyrics, and the tool will match the text to the audio timeline.
Does Lyrics Sync generate lyrics from audio?
No. Lyrics Sync is designed for cases where you already have the lyrics. It uses those lyrics to find where the words occur in the audio. If you only have audio and need the words transcribed first, that is a different workflow.
Can I use it with songs, not just spoken audio?
Yes, the tool is intended to work with vocal and music workflows. Results can vary depending on the recording. Clear lead vocals usually align more easily than heavily layered vocals, long ad-libs, strong reverb, or sections where multiple voices overlap.
Can it sync lyrics word by word?
The synchronization workflow can use word-level timing, which makes it possible to highlight individual words during playback. The page can also group those timings into full lyric lines for exports such as LRC or subtitles.
Can I sync lyrics line by line instead?
Yes. Word timing can be grouped into lyric lines, so you can use simpler line-based timestamps when you do not need karaoke-style word highlighting.
What happens if my pasted lyrics do not exactly match the audio?
The sync may become less accurate around missing, extra, repeated, or changed words. For the best results, paste the lyrics as they are actually performed in the audio and include repeated choruses where possible.
Can I edit the timestamps?
You can preview the synchronization before export, and clicking any line seeks the audio to that moment. Manual timestamp editing may be added as part of the editing workflow.
What audio formats are supported?
Supported audio formats are shown in the upload area. For the best experience, use a common audio format and a clear recording of the vocal performance.
What is an LRC file?
LRC is a lyric format that adds timestamps to lyric lines so compatible music players can display the words as a song plays. It is commonly used for synchronized lyrics.
What is the difference between LRC, SRT, and VTT?
LRC is mainly used for synchronized song lyrics. SRT is widely used for subtitles and video editing. WebVTT is commonly used for captions and timed text on websites. Choose the format based on where you plan to use the synced lyrics.
Can I use the synced lyrics for karaoke?
The timing can be used as a starting point for karaoke-style lyrics. Word-level timing is especially useful for highlighting lyrics during playback, although final karaoke projects may still need visual styling or timing adjustments.
Can I use Lyrics Sync for lyric videos?
Yes. Exported subtitle timing can help you place lyrics in a video editor without manually finding the start time of every line. You should still preview the timing before rendering the final video.
Can I use it with vocals created by MIDI to Vocals?
Yes. If you created a singing vocal from MIDI and lyrics, you can sync the finished vocal back to the same lyrics. This makes it easier to create synchronized playback, timed lyric exports, or a lyrics-aware Studio project.
Will it work with background music behind the vocal?
It can, but cleaner vocals generally make alignment easier. Dense arrangements, loud instruments, overlapping vocals, reverb, and effects can make some words harder to time accurately.
Does it work with long held notes and melisma?
It can still align the surrounding lyrics, but highly expressive singing can be more difficult than ordinary speech. A singer may stretch one syllable across several notes or add sounds that are not written in the lyrics, so these sections may need extra review.
Is my audio used to generate a new song?
No. Lyrics Sync analyzes the audio and matching text to create timing information. It does not need to rewrite or replace your music in order to generate synchronized lyrics.
How long does syncing take?
Processing time depends on the length of the audio and current system load. Short vocal clips generally finish faster than full-length songs.
Can I use the exported timestamps in my own app?
Yes. If you export structured timing data such as JSON, you can use the word or line timestamps to build lyric highlighting, playback synchronization, or other timed-text experiences in your own workflow.
Should I review the result before publishing?
Yes. AI synchronization can save a large amount of manual work, but songs with ad-libs, repeated phrases, layered vocals, or unusual delivery can still need corrections. Preview the full result before using it in a final release.
