AI Transcription is now half the cost, you can click words directly in the Lyrics Editor preview to fix them, and we've aligned credit costs with our providers. Here's everything in this update.

What's New

AI Transcription price cut: 50% off

AI Transcription now costs 5 credits per minute, down from 10.

We're making transcription the recommended way to sync your lyrics. When you use AI Transcription, our AI listens to your audio and generates word-level timestamps directly from what it hears — this produces the most accurate sync possible, especially for songs with complex vocals, harmonies, or fast-paced lyrics.

The tradeoff is that the AI may occasionally mishear a word, but fixing a misheard word is quick and easy compared to manually adjusting dozens of timing points in an inaccurate sync.

Click words in the video preview to edit them

When you're in the Lyrics Editor (formerly known as Sync Editor) and spot a word that looks wrong in the video preview, you can now click it directly to edit it. Clicking a word pauses playback and opens the word editor right away.

Previously, you had to find the word in the lyrics timeline below, scroll to the right line, and then open the editor. This makes fixing misheard words from AI Transcription much faster — you see it, you click it, you fix it.

Credits now rounded up to the nearest minute

Credit costs are now always rounded up to the nearest minute. For example, a 1m 20s video now costs 2 credits instead of 1, and a 2m 05s video costs 3 instead of 2. Very short videos under a minute still cost 1 credit minimum.

This change aligns our billing with how our partners and providers charge us — they all round up to the nearest minute too. This makes our pricing more predictable and consistent across the board.

Upcoming

Transparent background exports: new pricing and storage

Transparent background exports will cost 1 credit per minute and files will be stored for 24 hours instead of 30 days. This is a very resource-intensive codec that produces huge files — often multiple gigabytes. We run a dedicated rendering system just to handle these, so we're unable to continue offering them at no cost. And given the file sizes, we can only keep them available for 24 hours instead of the usual 30 days.

MP3+CDG export support

One of our most requested features is finally coming. While the MP3+CDG format can't include all the visual features that MyKaraoke Video offers, we know many of you rely on legacy karaoke machines that only support this format. We're working on adding the ability to export an MP3+CDG file from any project.
