About this app

UNDERSTAND EVERY SONG, IN ANY LANGUAGE

Stop searching for lyrics and pasting them into a translator. One tap: SongSense identifies the song playing around you, scrolls the lyrics in time with the music, and translates them into your language. 38 languages.

THE ONLY SONG TRANSLATOR THAT DOES ALL FOUR:
- Shazam identifies the song, but doesn't translate it
- Spotify shows the lyrics, but only in the original language
- Genius explains the meaning, but you have to go looking for it
- SongSense: recognize + karaoke sync + translate + meaning. One tap.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap to listen - the song is identified in seconds
2. Watch the lyrics scroll, perfectly in sync, current line highlighted
3. Read them in your language, as the song plays

SENSE - WHAT THE SONG ACTUALLY MEANS
Every song has a story behind it. Sense explains it: the meaning, the themes, the references - grounded in real sources you can open and read. Not a translation. An explanation.

PHON - SING IT, EVEN IF YOU DON'T SPEAK IT
We respell the lyrics the way they sound, for your eyes, not in linguist symbols. Sing along in Korean, Japanese, Spanish or Arabic without speaking a word of it.

SENSE POINTS
Earn points every time you unlock a song's meaning, pronunciation or translation. Level up, collect badges, climb the Top Listeners board. Be the first in the world to unlock a song and you become its Pioneer - your name stays on it.

SING MODE
Record yourself singing with the lyrics on screen, front camera rolling. Keep it, or share it.

EXPORT YOUR PLAYLISTS
Take any playlist with you - the app points you straight to the free services that turn it into a Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer or Tidal playlist, matched to the exact recordings.

FOUR WAYS TO READ
- Original: as it was written
- Translated: in your language
- Both: side by side
- Pronounced: sound it out and sing

Even with a subscription, I am unable to copy lyrics. All you can do is send a card that has a link only to the scrolling lyrics. I'm told now that they can only provide the first few words from a song due to copyright laws. It's misleading because there is a link in each song to copy lyrics. If you aren't looking for lyrics to store, the app functions pretty well, but doesn't always recognize songs.

Hi! Copying works — but music licensing only lets us export the first 5 lines; full lyrics are licensed for in-app viewing only. The text goes to your standard Android clipboard. Our next update says this right on the copy note. Since it's a licensing rule, not a bug, we hope you'll reconsider your rating. Thanks for the detailed report!

For tamil songs Songsense is giving the phonetics in English in another tab and giving the translation in another tab with the tamil words which I can't read I want one combined, real-time view while the Tamil song is playing: Tamil lyrics → English phonetics → English meaning For example: Tamil: காதல் வந்தால் Phonetics: Kaadhal vandhaal Meaning: When love comes So you never need to read Tamil script, and you don't have to switch between tabs.

Thanks for such a clear example, this is exactly the feedback we need. Today the Both view shows Tamil and the English meaning together, but Pronunciation is still a separate view. One line-by-line view with Tamil, English phonetics and meaning is a great idea and is now on our list to consider. — SongSense team

it sucks. some of us are on super tight budget as well as have learning disabilities and pick up and learn easiest thru music and most translating app do not pick up on songs so we can learn the easiest and fastest . so we find one like this one not only does it cost money after 3 days trial run that limits my ability to learn by only allowing 3 free songs a day... so it super sucks.

We hear you - music is one of the best ways to learn, and cost shouldn't stand in the way. We've added 6 months of PRO to your account as a gift - just open the app, it's already active. The daily limit exists because each new song costs us real money to translate, but helping people learn is exactly why we built SongSense.

What’s new

Lyrics are easier to follow: only the line being sung is bright, while lines already sung fade back like the ones still to come, on every tab. Changing the lyrics language from the home screen now shows the small "translating" bubble on the lyrics screen while the new translation is being prepared, so you always know it is on its way.
