Make a karaoke from your own songs
To make a karaoke with Jam Jam, add a song to your songbook with its lyrics and its track, start the lyrics sync, then open karaoke mode: words light up as the music plays, with the chords underneath. You can also export an MP4 karaoke video, on the web as in the app.

Where the karaoke lyrics come from
Jam Jam karaoke brings no lyrics of its own: it shows those of the song in your songbook, whether you imported, pasted or typed them. If the song has no lyrics, the audio can be transcribed to suggest some; either way, you decide what text is shown.
How the lyrics are synced to the music
To sync lyrics, Jam Jam first transcribes the track to get time-stamped words, then keeps only the timings and aligns your songbook text to them. The transcribed text is not written into your song when it already has lyrics. This runs on our server in France: the file is neither published nor tied to your account, and it is deleted after processing.
Full-screen karaoke or MP4 karaoke video
Karaoke mode plays live: full screen, several visual moods, the chord diagrams for your instrument scrolling underneath, so a whole band can follow one screen. The karaoke video is an MP4 file rendered on our server, to send or project without Jam Jam.
| Platform | Karaoke mode | MP4 video |
|---|---|---|
| Web | Yes | Yes, direct download |
| Android app | Yes | Yes, save to a folder or share |
| iOS app (public beta on TestFlight) | Yes | Yes, through the share sheet |
Free karaoke: what the free account includes
Karaoke mode comes with the free account, like the 50-song songbook. Each exported karaoke video counts as one export: 15 per week for free, counter reset on Monday; Premium makes them unlimited.
A karaoke made from your own songs, with the chords under the lyrics: that is what helps when rehearsing with a band, a choir or friends.
