Overview
Create Live Lyrics provides a workflow and lightweight toolset to turn any MP3 into an offline-capable, Spotify-style synchronized lyric experience. Users transcribe audio (recommended via ElevenLabs Speech-to-Text) to obtain word-level timestamps, then use the Mixer to combine the MP3 and JSON transcript into a single .songlyrics container. The Player loads .songlyrics files and performs real-time, word-by-word highlighting while allowing audio effects (nightcore, reverb, slow/fast) and playback/display adjustments. The .songlyrics format is designed to be decodable so the original MP3 and transcript can be extracted later, supporting portability and privacy by allowing playback without an internet connection after creation. The site focuses on simple, offline-first lyric sync for listeners and creators.
