If lyrics are missing online or you need timestamps, upload your audio file and extract synced lyrics directly. Most transcriptions complete in around 30-40 seconds.
Practical guide
If you are trying to get lyrics from an audio file, the usual problem is that text lyrics are not enough. You may need to know exactly where each line happens, or you may be working with a recording that does not exist in any public lyric database. That is common for demos, unreleased songs, AI music, voice memos, worship recordings, cover versions, and local files.
LyricTime turns the audio file into a timed lyric project. The timing is what lets the output become useful beyond reading. You can export LRC for synced music playback, SRT for video subtitles, or VTT for web video. The same transcription can support several different workflows because the project keeps both the text and the timing.
The cleanest workflow is simple: use the exact audio version you plan to publish or edit with, generate the draft, review it once, then export. If you later swap in a different mix, radio edit, remaster, or clip, the lyric timing may no longer match perfectly. The audio file you transcribe should be the audio file you actually intend to use.
Song lyrics are not available on Genius or lyric sites
You need timestamps, not just plain text lyrics
You want lyrics for your own recordings or demos
You need LRC/SRT/VTT for playback or video workflows
Built for songs with vocals, not generic speech dictation.
Use the cleanest source you have. If your original format is WAV/M4A/FLAC, convert to MP3 for current web upload.
Generate lyrics and check lines where vocals overlap or pronunciation is unusual. Edit before export.
Export LRC for synced players, SRT for editors, or VTT for web players from one project.
Output
The result is not just a plain text transcript. You get editable lyrics with timing data, so the same project can become a lyric file, subtitle file, or video workflow.
Fix misheard words, punctuation, capitalization, or repeated chorus lines before exporting.
Each lyric line has timing attached, which is what music players and video editors need.
Use LRC for music playback, SRT for video editors, or VTT for web video.
Projects are kept in your library, so you can return later to edit or export another format.
Use this page when your job is specifically “get lyrics from an audio file” and you want timestamped output.
Use Lyrics Extractor when the issue is “lyrics are missing online” and you need a direct extraction page.
Use Audio to Lyrics for the broader conversion workflow and multi-format exports.
Audio quality matters. A cleaner file means fewer edits before export.
Do not transcribe a demo if your video or player uses a different mix. Small arrangement changes can make timing feel wrong.
Heavy effects, crowd noise, and overlapping vocals can still work, but they usually need a closer review pass.
Treat AI output as a strong first draft. Listen through once, fix obvious words, then export the final file.
Current web upload support is MP3. If your source is WAV, M4A, FLAC, or OGG, convert it to MP3 first.
Yes. You can edit text, adjust timing, and clean up lines before exporting the final file.
This workflow is built for songs and vocals, not just speech transcription.
Demo mode is available to preview quality. Processing your own audio files requires a paid minute option.
Use the editor to correct text and timing, then export. For difficult tracks, a short manual cleanup pass is normal and expected.
Use demo to preview quality, then process your own audio with one-time minutes.
Demo is free • Own-song uploads use paid minutes
