Lyric videos

A lyric video maker that puts every word on its beat

Speech recognition hears singing but garbles the words, so auto-transcribed lyric videos come out wrong. Chitrio takes a different route: you upload the song and type the lyrics you already know, and forced alignment finds when each word is sung. Every line becomes its own scene with visuals behind it, and each word pops on screen as it is sung. No song yet? It can write an original rhyme and sing it.

Straight answer: With music, rights come first. A lyric video of a song you do not own can be claimed or taken down within minutes of upload. Use your own recording, a licensed one, or an original song made for you.

How it works

  1. 1

    Bring the song

    Upload a recording you own the rights to, or ask for an original rhyme to be written and sung about a topic you choose.

  2. 2

    Type the lyrics

    One line per row, a blank line between verses. The words are given to the aligner, so the text on screen is exactly what you typed.

  3. 3

    Render

    Each line gets a scene sized to when it is sung, with kinetic words timed to the vocal and a look you pick.

Questions, answered

Can I use a famous song?

Only if you own the recording or have a licence. Any recognisable use of someone else's recording needs permission, and platforms match even a few seconds. The app asks you to confirm ownership.

Why do I have to type the lyrics?

Because transcription of singing gets words wrong. Typing them and aligning them to the audio means the words on screen are always correct.

What is the original song option?

You give a topic, lyrics are written, and the song is composed and sung by AI. Original words and an original recording mean nothing to claim against.

Does it work in Hindi?

Yes. Lyrics can be typed in Hindi and other supported languages, and Devanagari words are drawn with proper shaping.

Can I choose the visuals?

Yes. Pick a look for the scenes behind the words, from calm ambient scenes to bright cartoon styles.
