How to Convert a Song Into Lyrics
Upload Your Song
Import your MP3, WAV, or other song file from your computer or cloud storage. Flixier starts transcribing the vocals automatically, so you don’t have to type out the lyrics yourself.
Check the Lyrics
Play back the song while reading the text, to correct any words that were missed or misheard, especially where the music overlaps the vocals.
Adjust the Timing
Check when each line starts and ends, then edit the timestamps to match the singing. This helps when you want to use the lyrics as subtitles in a music video.
Download Text or Subtitles
Save the lyrics as a TXT file without timestamps when you only need the words. Choose SRT or VTT when you want timed lyrics to add to a video.

Yes, all you have to do is upload your song and let Flixier transcribe the vocals, then check the text against the recording. Music, overlapping vocals, and unclear singing can cause mistakes, so review the lyrics before using them. Download the words as TXT or save timed subtitles for a video.
Flixier supports transcription in languages including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Cantonese, Arabic, Dutch, and Indonesian. Review the generated text before downloading, particularly names, specialist terms, and local expressions. Transcribing a recording produces text in its original language; translating that text is a separate step.
Transcription allowances and file limits depend on your plan. Check the Flixier pricing page for the current limits before uploading a long interview, lecture, or podcast. Make sure you have enough transcription time and storage available for the recording you want to convert.
Accuracy depends on the recording. Clear speech is easier to transcribe than audio with background noise, overlapping speakers, or unfamiliar terms. Play back the file while reviewing the text and correct anything that was misheard. Song lyrics may need extra checking where instruments make the vocals harder to hear.
