Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. AudioShake first isolates the vocal — including separating lead from backing vocals where needed — so it can transcribe and align even busy, layered productions where the lead line is buried under instrumentation.
Accuracy comes from transcribing the isolated vocal rather than the full mix. Removing instrumentation before transcription gives the model a much cleaner signal, which produces noticeably better results than transcribing a mixed recording — particularly on dense arrangements where instruments would otherwise mask the words.
Yes. If the lyric text already exists, AudioShake can align it to the recording's timeline to produce word-level timing, rather than transcribing from scratch. This is useful for publishers and labels that hold verified lyrics and need accurate synchronization across a catalog.
AudioShake returns lyrics with word-level timestamps, structured for direct use in DSP delivery, lyric-video production, and catalog metadata. Because timing is captured per word, the same output drives both static lyric display and tightly synchronized karaoke or lyric-reveal experiences.
